The playground in question is in a deplorable state, with poor cleanliness and broken play equipment. The lack of proper cleaning is evident, giving the park an unsightly and unsanitary appearance. Urgent attention is needed to address these issues and restore the park to a clean and safe condition. As a visitor from Canada, the level of dirtiness is particularly shocking.

Worst park ever. Main slide is totally flooded, the roundabout doesn't work anymore, doesn't move. Ground area looks like a construction site. Total disgrace of a play area for such a lovely park.

This is a reasonably sized, well maintained playground with a good variety of equipment, particularly for younger children. It's location in Kelvingrove Park (just next to the river) gives it a lovely atmosphere and there are plenty of picnic tables to take it on from. Despite that, it's only a 5min walk from Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
