Intersecting through the area is a small grass park, known locally as the Green Belt. Circumventing Gowrie Park is a cycle path, where the railway line to Lochee ran. At the South Road/Mallaig Avenue roundabout, some of the old Liff Station buildings (which closed around 1967) stand. The path of the railway can clearly be seen from above on Google Earth running directly behind Applecross Gardens and Peterburn Terrace. The cycle path (former rail line) is part of the Dundee green route which provides access to the Technology Park, Ninewells Hospital, the Kingsway dual carriageway to the west and Charleston, a sports centre and shops to the east.

The majority of the children who live in Gowrie Park attend Tayview Primary School then go on to Harris Academy. The area is within walking distance of local shops and Ninewells Hospital. There are also regular bus routes through the area.

The area is included in the Lochee council ward, yet is several miles from Lochee. The Councillors are Alan Ross, Roisin Smith, (Scottish National Party), Charlie Malone, and Michael Marra, (Labour).
