    Lovely local park. Very large place. Flat paved paths for wheelchairs and buggies. A wee pond with many swans. A wee play area for the children. Dogs allowed on the lead. Bowels and tennis courts. 1.2M loop walk. Open spaces with grass on the attached other side of the park. Gravel paths with inclines and declines. I would not see toilets. Park the car along the local streets.

    The pond is mess they have taken a good part of it Away and it's pure muddy and overgrown patches off grass where ducks nested with their babies

  • 4/5 graeme s. 4 years ago on Google
    Good miniature park. Swans and geese galore plus a bike park across the road. The play park could do with some maintenance and updating.

  • 3/5 muzmaz1 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely little park. Lots of swans and seagulls and crows and pigeons to feed. Bring the kids and feed the bird's. ๐Ÿ‘

    I sat at the edge of the park pond on a sunny Sunday morning .A very pleasant venue popular with families strolling, joggers jogging and seagulls,many seagulls doing what seagulls do. I spent a peaceful 20 minutes there. Hope you do too.

  • 4/5 Graham M. 2 years ago on Google
    A simple but lovely park. Sit by the pond on one of the benches dotted around. I often visit through the week on ร  lunch break. It's been nice recently watching the geese and swans doing their thing in and out of the water. The park is well pathed and near the main road where there is on street parking. Suitable for prams or wheelchairs access.

    Nice park with peaceful views of surrounding area and a quiet restful atmosphere nice place to have a picnic with the family and not too far away from a bus stop for either anniesland and Glasgow city centre or on the opposite side of the road yoked and clydebank shopping centre if you're in need of public transport

  • 5/5 Laura W. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice park, not too busy with people compared the bigger parks. A pond and a little stream. There's a running track too and tennis courts and bowling nearby. Children's play area as well. Is a decent size for a good walk but not too big that you'd get lost! BMX course across the road as well.

  • 5/5 Crawford I. 5 years ago on Google

    Pretty park with pond. Play park has chute, climbing frames, roundabouts swings. Lots of green space. Benches and tables.

  • 5/5 Miller W. 6 months ago on Google
    Been coming here since the mid 1980s when I was a child. It's a shame that the wee boats for boating on the pond are no longer there, courtesy of numerous arson attacks. But the park is still a nice place to take your family. There's a Glasgow life sports facility located here too which offers bowls, a croquet club and tennis.

  • 5/5 Dino R. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely wee park to go for a stroll, fresh air and for kids to play in park ๐Ÿ˜ weather dependent of course ๐Ÿ˜

  • 5/5 Christopher L. 3 years ago on Google
    A great park for Glasgow. Pond, tennis courts, running track, bowls.

  • 1/5 sonofwilliamchris 5 years ago on Google
    The dumping ground, you should be ashamed. But probably shows the real alcohol problem this city actually has, as most of the rubbish floating about has a %. We go on about loving this city, yet if you looking around the place is a dumping ground for household waste, car tires, and anything else people can't be bothered to dispose of properly, then we moan about the living in a sh*thole!

  • 3/5 Martin M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice park with pond, tennis and bowls. There us also a BMX track across the road.

  • 3/5 Pat D. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice to see the young moorhens

  • 5/5 Wade H. 5 years ago on Google
    Great park to visit with dogs. Itโ€™s not completely fenced in but it is well kept and maintained. There are some swans that live here that love to be fed so if you are a loose end with small kids bring some feed for the swans and you will be able to keep them entertained for a while. Plenty of parking available.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth G. 3 years ago on Google
    We loved seeing the fairy homes and rocks done by the local children. My 5yr old was so excited to see them all

  • 3/5 Keiran Y. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 gillian mc b. 4 years ago on Google
    On 8/12/18 there were 26 swans at Swan Lake! Ab fab. How nice to see them and 15 geese wanting fed too. Fantastic fun trying to keep up with 26 swans all wanting some bread. Great fun. Now there are 37 swans 5/2/19 ! A little too many for me to keep up with. They really appreciate the seeds, peas and sweetcorn I bring for them. That's a bunch of happy swans. The little black and white ducks are so cute too.
