I give this a rating of OK because I grew up next to the Park and this was like my back garden up until I was 12. The park has been in decline over the past 30 years or so and although some effort has been made in recent years to spruce it up a bit, Vandalism of the play areas and the continuing decline of the Winter Gardens makes me sad when I remember growing up there.

My old Scout Master Ronnie Gray still lives in the big house in the Park and has been an inspiration to hundreds of kids who have grown up in Glasgow, many of us returning with our own kids, he has been a true mentor to so many. He's my Mr. Miagi 😀. The Park is one of those places that will truly be missed if we ever lose it and is taken for granted by so many. Let's us hope that the land is never sold to...

Unfortunately, the Park is not suitable for a walk as it is used by a group of minor and adult motorcyclists who organize races without paying attention to pedestrians, children or animals. This place has become dangerous for walks, especially with dogs. I read a few months ago that somewhere in England, a minor motorcyclist killed a 7-year-old girl. In my opinion, it is the police's fault, because they know what is going on, but they do nothing. Why shouldn't a motorcyclist race on pedestrian sidewalks if no one forbids him? Well, if you don't pay your road tax, the police will be on your back right now, but they are not that interested in keeping...
