Great park for the adventurous child. The slides are massive and enjoyable. And the “death slide” is also great fun. Lovely area and nice walk around the park.

Never taking kids here again thankfully this wasn’t my child but parents screaming as there kids walking away from sand with apparent treasure turned out to be a used needle and burnt foil disgusting place, plus councils reaction was that parents should educate children to be fair didn’t expect anything else since they just remove broken parts rather than repair. DO NOT let child out of your sight monitor their play if your going to go and explain the dangers of needles and please make sure they wear shoes kid got pricked same visit parents rushing to local hospital in a panic

Brilliant little find whilst we're on holiday! Little man just started to be comfortable with climbing and oh did he climb!! Do note the whole area is a big sandpit - our little man doesn't really do sand, but the excitement of climbing superceded that! There is also a younger toddler section at the back (again a giant sandpit), but some equipments there are quite damaged but overall, a thumbs up for the park(s)!

Love it! Fun for kids (and parents!). Great slides and sandpit all fenced in so it’s safe for your kids to play for free! This is a brilliant playpark and don’t know any other like it in Glasgow!

A large, sandy playground with two distinct areas for younger and older children. The older playground in particular is absolutely fantastic with lots of sand, several tall slides, rope bridges and a zip wire. The large perimeter fence is good for keeping children from running off while you relax but completely cuts you off from the rest of the park, which is a bit of a shame. There is just enough green space within the perimeter for a picnic though and there are toilets and a cafe in the People's Palace which is about a 5 min walk away. On nice days an ice-cream can often parks outside the entrance.
