Do we think that George Square is one of the 'city' parks? Does Blythswood Square fall into the same category?

I couldn't remember what it was called, V.
I knew it wasn't Kinning Park Park...
Quite a lot of people think it's just called Kinning Park, but that's the name of the district, called after the Kinning House estate which once covered the area. Plantation Park is rather smaller than it used to be, a chunk having been lopped off when the M8 Motorway was built about 30 years ago.
I take it Plantation Park is the little park next to Kinning Park subway then?

Rouken Glen Park was opened in 1906
More than £2m in lottery funding has been awarded to a historic park near Giffnock, East Renfrewshire.

I'm 98% positive I was in the correct places (always a little bit of doubt) but I searched hard around the areas as well and no green signs. Even the local folk confirmed I was in the right places.
- GCC also confirmed that there will be at least two new parks in the city following developments in the Dalmarnock Commonwealth Village, Oatlands Regeneration, Garthamlock new builds, Clyde Gateway works, IFSD ongoing work and London Road corridor works.
Helenvale Park is not on the list btw. However it does appear on the proposal for the new council wards. See here: http://www.scottishschools.info/Website ... leston.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It's not in Ward 19 but it's in Parkhead next to it as you can see.

From Britain from Above - Helenvale is at the top of the picture.
Helenvale Park is/was at the top of Helenvale Street behind the Library - there is an old Parks and Recreation sign on the fence. It's pretty much abandonded and I can't fathom why it's on that map. Will try and remember to post a photo.
Bridgeton Park is next to the Bridgeton Community Learning Campus on Dale Street/Old Dalmarnock Road.
