Parks and Outdoors

Take a drive along any of the major roads in Glasgow and marvel at the number of trees in this city. Go to any vantage point -  a window in a multi-storey building or one of the many scenic points in our parks - and you will see a mass of greenery all around.

Glasgow City Council also provides some less well-known services for lovers of the outdoors:

• Allotment Gardens suitable for all levels of gardeners
• Outstanding Parks and Gardens throughout the city
• Equestrian Centre
• Countryside Ranger Service holds a vast array of events throughout the year
• A team of arboriculture officers who can answer questions on the trees within the city
• An award winning fold of Highland Cattle
• Ecologists and Biodiversity Officers promote and support the Ecology and Wildlife within the city

To encourage more people to use the city's facilities we are continuously reviewing them.  Some of our regeneration projects have included:

• installing all-weather tennis courts
• installing skateboard parks
• upgrading allotments
• upgrading playgrounds throughout the city
