Lovely big park. Well kept. Children's play area for youngsters is gated and visitors are great about keeping gates closed. Outside this area is the main park which also has a climbing frame for older children. There is scaffolding surrounding the bandstand so best to stay away from this. Plenty of space for children to run about. Dog walkers enjoy the space.

Lovey size public park, very buy with dog walkers and kids. Lots of places to park nearby. We visited on a Thursday just after lunch and it had lots of digs, off and on lead plus loads of little kids with mums and playgroups. Great for our wee sociable dog 🐕 People were super friendly 👍

Small family and pet oriented park in Glasgow. A nice little haven in the built up south side of the city.
