Will these parents take their kids to the P.P. only to get constanly harassed with the weans wanting a shot on the swings, or are they just going to go to the Rookie instead? I reckon the latter! So as I said, Pollok Park, and the Burrells' loss, will be the Rookies' gain.

I just don't understand this logic. Is Pollok Park so small that it will be unavoidable to go past the Go Ape centre - I think not. If any parent wants to prevent their child from moaning then avoid the Go Ape area. Like everything in life its about choices.

Why can parks not provide a range of facilities.

No, thats not what I am saying. It looks to me that a substantial part of the North Wood would be unaffected. The plans on the save Pollok Park website say 30% will be affected which is presumeably based on the planning boundary, but the same site indicates the actual extent of structures which is considerably less that 30%. Therefore a substantial part of the North Wood would still be available for use with insignificant impacts from the Go Ape facility.

City’s oldest surviving road found by archaeology dig in Pollok Park
The ancient pathways pounded by St Mungo as he built his church at the tiny fishing settlement called Glas Gu are positively futuristic by comparison.
After lying concealed by vegetation and woodland for what may be almost 3000 years, archaeologists have unearthed what they believe to be Glasgow's oldest surviving thoroughfare.
The heavily paved road, between 50 and 100 metres in length and leading into a stone settlement protected by large earth banks and ditches, has been discovered in a densely wooded section of the city's Pollok Park by a team made up of Glasgow University academics and members of the Glasgow Archaeological Society.
If their guesses are correct, the road dates from between 500BC and 700BC and could well be the avenue and entrance into the home of an influential Iron Age southsider.
