Green Spaces in Glasgow

The name Glasgow is derived from the Gaelic word ‘Glaschu’, meaning ‘green hollow’ or ‘dear green place’. Enjoying an outdoor summer won’t be difficult with such beautiful green spaces on our doorstep. Our parks come in all shapes and sizes, from small city gardens to huge woodland areas, each with something unique to offer. A jewel in our crown is the gorgeous
Kelvingrove Park, located in Glasgow’s trendy West End & a literal back garden to the famous
Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery. Inside you’ll find plenty of open space, a skate park, a bowling and croquet green and many interesting monuments. It’s a great place for a whole day of discovery followed by a picnic lunch al fresco.
