The park was originally gifted to the people of Grangemouth by the Earl of Zetland in the 1870s.
The central feature of the park is a restored Victorian fountain that was originally installed in the late 19th century.
A specific area of the park is designated as a sensory garden to accommodate visitors with diverse needs.
The park's drainage system and pond underwent significant engineering upgrades during the 2022 renovation to improve biodiversity.
It is one of the few parks in the region to retain a formal rose garden structure reflecting 20th-century landscape design.
Zetland Park is the primary public green space in Grangemouth, featuring extensive recreational facilities including tennis courts and a historic rose garden. The park underwent a major regeneration project, completed in recent years, which restored the historic fountain and improved the play area. It serves as a central hub for community activity and provides a habitat for various waterfowl within its central pond. The park layout incorporates paved walking circuits suitable for all ages. Visitors can access multiple sports pitches and dedicated zones for children. The grounds also host the Grangemouth Heritage Trust displays in the park's central area. It is a managed council property maintained by Falkirk Council.

Bring non-slip footwear if you plan to use the tennis courts, as surfaces can be slippery after light rain.
Visit the dedicated quiet seating areas near the rose garden if you prefer a peaceful environment away from the children's play zones.
Check the local community notice boards near the entrance for upcoming summer events or seasonal festivals.
Do not attempt to use sports courts during local league matches; check court availability signage before setting up.
Stay on designated paths in the rose garden and refrain from feeding waterfowl bread, as the park provides specific signage regarding local wildlife health.
