Lovely and well-kept park in the Southside of Glasgow. There are quite a few tables and benches next to the pond which are great for a picnic. The park is quite small so you will be done with it quickly. However, it’s always a good idea to extend the park walk to neighboring Pollockshields. Lovely buildings, and leafy streets await you there.

I love Maxwell Park it has changed so much over the years inside but I have good memories which I shared today while there with my granddaughter .. ow 😏 .. pond looked amazing with the bushes & plants around it full of ducks. Plenty of space for running around or kicking a ball with benches for eating lunch. An ice cream van there also. Beautiful plants follow the walk through to centre area previously a pond with benches in the sun. Pollokshields Burugh Halls is in the grounds which hosts weddings & other functions. Past here is the play park for kids with usual swings slides on safety ground. More open space ahead of this formerly the tennis courts & toilets! Still a lovely park not to big a walk for most especially in sunshine some gorgeous trees around & throughout it all x
