Barshaw Park — Attraction in Scotland

The car park is an alright size but when we were there the park got busy at lunchtime and there weren't enough spaces due to how people parked. The toilets are beside the car park and in portacabins but there was only one working and there was no toilet roll in any of the cubicles. There is a food and drink place at the car park as well. There is a good selection of food on offer and ice cream as well just ignore the price list on the wall outside. The park has a great bike trail with plenty of jumps. There is also a training area for people learn about bike safety that's a really good size and well laid out. The kids play area is brilliant. It's very big and has lots of different things to play on. It is also split in to different age category. The exercise area has plenty of fitness equipment unfortunately some were broken but it was still good fun. The walk round the park is very easy and not strenuous and is a good place to take your dog for a walk. The walled garden are at the top of the park and it's got lots of seats and is nice and quiet.Nature corner is nothing like the picture you see. It's a building site is the only way to put it. Hopefully it's just temporary and will go back to the way it is in the picture. The pond is getting drained so is fenced off so can't walk around it. The model railway has a sign saying it is open in the summer only but doesn't give a date for when it's opening. There is good open spaces for a picnic or to play football, badminton etc but...

This park has been a wee retreat for many folk in the surrounding area, during the lockdown. Many families visit here due to the kids place park and concession stand at the cafe offering food and drink. There is also a bike track here which gets decent use, though bit on the small side. Plenty of locals like to walk their dogs here There's also a pond that has ducks and swans where folk often like to feed them.

There used to be a rideable model train attraction at the park but the folk that volunteered there have moved on and the nature corner here which had some interesting animals has shut it's gates, which shows the decline of quality the park has suffered. This park could do with better funding and care from the council. Many areas here are lacking and run down. Possibly it could be nice to involve the local community to improve parts of the park like adding flower beds and maintaining them. The bins plotted around the park tend to overflow on busy days and can sit there over multiple days.

The biggest issue I can see from here is some folk tend to use this park as a spot to drink booze and smash their glass, making a danger for many park users. This park needs better patrolling to scare off this kind of...

Nice little park, the paths are all paved and wide, there is a small area designated to letting your dog off lead, The park is clean, but sign of wear are starting to be noticed, there is a walled garden, a nice place to sit in the peace and quiet while you contemplate life. There is a big pond, that is full of ducks and swans There's a good cafe on site, that is worth a visit There is plenty of parking and the view at the top of the hill gives you amazing view over paisley and towards the gleniffer braes, the hill is great in winter when it snows, its a popular for sledging, There is a miniature railway but I don't think it operates in winter only in late spring and summer, There is two large play grounds, one for the younger kids the other for older kids, the younger kids park is securely fenced off. There's also a bmx track but with signs of neglect, there is also a street style track that you can use to teach the kids how to use roads when on their bikes, but it also is neglected, but can still be used safely There is toilets on site, I'm not sure if they are always open There is a bus stop right...
