Bellahouston Park
This extensive park has many features and facilities to tempt visitors and local residents to its grounds. It boasts formal gardens and open parkland in which to relax and take in views over the city and beyond.
There are several points of horticultural interest such as the walled garden (shown below) with its fine collection of ferns and daffodils collected by the 19th century plant collector Peter Bar who lived locally. It also boasts a wide variety of herbaceous perennials, wall-trained shrubs, Chrysanthemums, Dahlias, and annual borders.
There is an extensive network of asphalt footpaths, which are suitable for walking, cycling as well as wheelchair and pram access. Facilities within the park also include 2 bowling greens, an 18 hole pitch and putt course, orienteering course and 3 play areas.
Events such as the Scottish Women’s 10k Race and the Irn Bru Live and Loud Concert have been a feature of the park as are a number of smaller local events.
