This
park,
and
the
area
around
it,
used
to
be
a
very
smart
part
of
Glasgow.
The
Festival
Park
-
once
a
significant
part
of
the
Glasgow
Garden
Festival
-
has
been
allowed
to
deteriorate
considerably
by
Glasgow
City
Council,
as
have
the
areas
of
Cessnock
and
Kinning
Park
in
general.
The
park's
play
areas
for
kids
are
reasonably
well
maintained,
but
the
play
areas
are
small
and
so
not
a
lot
of
work
is
really
required
to
do
that.
The
closer
look
at
the
wider
environs
of
the
Festival
Park
sees
loads
of
rubbish
strewn
under
bushes
and
plenty
of
evidence
that
the
park
is
a
haven
for
junkies
and
alkies
due
to
its
heavy,
overgrown
foliage
which
provides
seclusion
from
the
nearby
roads.
There's
always
somebody
'dodgy'
hanging
around
here,
and
you
wouldn't
want
to
hazard
a
visit
at
night.
Nice
place
at
one
time,
but
it's
gone
downhill
in
recent
years,
just
like
the
nearby
Paisley
Road
West
area.
Perhaps
Glasgow
City
Council
will
have
an
answer
for
their
inaction
but
I
would
doubt
it
