Boghall has a range of amenities including a community centre, post office, 3 Corner Shops, a Scotmid supermarket, pharmacy, chip shop and indian restaurant as well as a second hand shop. Boghall is also home to Boghall Butchers which has won many awards for its pies and other foods. There are also 5 play parks around Boghall including Kirkton park, a community park with large green areas, a band stand, and a bowling/tennis club. Party in the park, a small local festival, is held here each year in September. In the middle of the estate is the Boghall Parish Church of Scotland, which offers weekly worship as well as various activities during the week in the Church hall. Boghall is found just on Puir wives' brae, which is part of the Bathgate Hills. Just outside of Boghall is the Pyramids business park along with a Toby Carvery, a Premier Inn hotel, and a petrol station, all of which local people consider to be in Boghall.
