Glasgow Green
Discover Glasgow Green, the city's oldest and largest park, a sprawling 136-acre oasis just east of the city centre. This award-winning green space offers a vibrant mix of activities, from a fun play village and local play area for families to an orienteering course and scenic Clyde viewing platforms. Enjoy well-lit asphalt footpaths perfect for strolls, and explore the Glasgow Green Football Centre. It's an inviting urban escape for recreation and events.
I had the pleasure to take my wee neice and big nephew to TRNSMT 2025 Friday night to see the proper good The Script. We walked through the south end of the park, it's a very nice wee park, lots of things to do. Even as we left around 10pm the park was still busy with lots of families enjoying the evening sun 🌞. We had a cracking good time, it's a well organised festival, definitely no like the auld T in the Park days. I have enjoyed many good events at the Green, going back to The Prodigy in the 90s. Hopefully I'll be able to return. 5/5 🖖
This park is great for early morning runners! It has a greenway that goes around the entire park. I ran the side that goes along the Clyde. I would estimate from end to end on that side it’s about 1.5 miles on way. It goes straight into a recreational park full of soccer fields that you can also run around too. I felt very safe, the greenway has lots of trees and a wide path. When running past the Clyde, you may even see some flocks of swans. Seems to be a local favorite running spot!

Steeped in history yet buzzing with life, Glasgow Green offers something for everyone—whether it’s a peaceful stroll, a riverside picnic, or a major event at the Riverside Museum. Not given 5 stars as not able to locate any washroom.
What a great place to walk, cycle, escape the city. Vast area with riverside and other walks. Lovely tree lined avenues.
We met family in the park and made the most of two of the playgrounds. The larger slides were a huge hit with the kids of all ages. There were a couple of picnic tables, which worked well for a visit. There was also a small cafe, which served a selection of hot and cold foods. We really liked the bike cycle hire that was available, which is part of a small charity, also teaching children to cycle if they don't have access to their own bikes.
