Spotted another one...

Penilee Park - Barshaw Road, Penilee

I'll refrain from posting a GSV image (I agree, it's cheating) and let someone grab their own pic.

[Glesga_Steve]

Just remembered another one I spotted while looking at OS mapping earlier today.

Lochar Park... can't remember where it was though!

Found it again!

It's sandwiched between Linthaugh Road (Pollok) and the White Cart.

Another one...

Priesthill Park - (southern end of) Priesthill Road, Priesthill

[Glesga_Steve]

Wasn't aware this one was an official GCC park or I'd have mentioned it earlier...

Cathkin Park - Cathcart Road / Prospecthill Road / Myrtle Park, Mount Florida

[Glesga_Steve]

They're everywhere you look!

Gorbals New Park - Alexander Crescent / Southside Crescent, Gorbals

[Mori]

Small regenrated areas like these are many throughout the city maintained by the council parks dept, they wouldn't be classed as mini parks would they ?

Pacific gardens


Linthousue community gardens


clydewaterfront

I don't think I've seen any mention of Priesthill Park (off Kennishead Road). Sorry, don't have a pic as yet - you would need to wait until I got my film developed anyway - and it doesn't appear that the GSV usage debate was resolved.... (dives for cover!)

Another one...

Priesthill Park - (southern end of) Priesthill Road, Priesthill

Hey, Steve, stop trying tae steal my thunder!

#41 Broomfield Park although its just a wide open space these days can't be built on because of mine workings and it lies empty now.Used to have the second worst changing rooms in Glasgow!! the worst being the old ones at the "coup" Glenconner black ash pitches in Royston.

Oops, sorry D!

Hadn't noticed you'd already mentioned that one. I'll pass the blame onto Josef as he hadnt added it to the 'master' list

Pull your socks up J!!

Oi.

Pacific Gardens looks a wee bit tenuous, Mori. No picture of Elder Park, btw?

On second thoughts, Yoker is not in Glasgow, is it?

I'm sure Yoker falls within the Glasgow City Council area. It's not part of Clydebank if that's what you were thinking of.

Yoker is definitely within Glasgow City rather than Clydebank (West Dunbartonshire).

Historically, the boundary between the two, in that area, was the Yoker Burn and that is generally still the case. The Yoker Burn crosses Dumbarton Road / Glasgow Road a few yards west of the Lovat Arms pub and that is where you cross the boundary (and hence the change of road name; Mill Road becomes Yoker Mill Road for the same reason).
