Parks & Gardens

Glasgow is a city which is built around acres of parkland and gardens. This means that the city benefits from many urban green spaces, which most cities do not have.
The most cherished of these parks are the Botanic Gardens, Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow Green, Queens Park and Pollok Park.

The Botanic Gardens are located in the west end of the city, just off Byres Road and Great Western Road. The gardens were created in 1817 as part of Glasgow University. The glass houses were initially used for exhibitions and also for ceremonies when appointing rectors for the university. The gardens were later handed over to the Glasgow City Park and Gardens Department who used the glasshouses to grow plants and flowers. A popular destination for families and tourists, the Glasgow Botanic Gardens are a beautiful example of the parks & gardens within Glasgow.

Kelvingrove Park is nestled in the west end of Glasgow and follows the path of the River Kelvin through the city. As one of the oldest and much loved parks in Glasgow it is a wonderful place to spend a day. The park is filled with statues and fountains with treasures hidden around every bend. Kelvingrove Park is also home to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, the most visited tourist attraction in Scotland. The park is often filled with families, students and couples basking in the summer sun or meandering through a winter wonderland.

Out in the east end of the city is Glasgow Green, home to the People’s Palace. Glasgow Green is the oldest park in Glasgow, dating back to the 15th Century. The Green is also home to the Queen Victoria Royal Doulton Fountain. The 48ft high fountain was recently restored at a cost of £2 million. The fountain now stands proudly at the People’s Palace.

On the south side of the city there are two other major parks, Queens Park and Pollok Park. Queens Park, near Shawlands, was developed in the late 19th Century in response to a surge in population in Glasgow’s south side. The park boasts tennis, golf and bowling facilities along with a pond area. From the glasshouse at the top of the park it is possible, on a clear day, to see the Campsie Fells and Ben Lomond.

Pollok Park is the home of the Burrell Collection and until recently was the largest urban green space in Europe. In 2007 the park was voted as the best park in the UK, demonstrating its beauty. Facilities within the park include mountain biking trails, trekking routes and the park is also home to Strathclyde polices’ mounted and dog branches.

With so many parks & gardens in Glasgow there is no need to be stuck indoors.
