Great for walking dog or going a healthy walk. But there's no swings for kids or toilets near by. You might see deer or ducks.

Nice short circular walk around the meadows. Can be extended to include Cathkin braes also has links to magnificent 11 route. On a clear day great views of the hills. No playground, but still a good place to let's kids run around and explore. Car parking facilities.

This is a fab piece of land to explore. First time for us there today, lovely and crisp. Stunning views over Glasgow, we could also see as far as Ben Lomond.

Has been amazing watching the developments with this little park! I do photography and the views are lovely, be it of the park itself or the views of the Glasgow Area. Popular with dog walkers, and a good gateway to the Cathkin Braes. The park rangers also host little events now and then for little ones like at Christmas and Easter.
