Glasgow Parks are also host to many festivals and family days out which run throughout the year and include fairground shows, face painting and music. Some of the parks with small ponds also have many model boat racing competitions, fun for all those gadget fans out there!

Bellahouston Park is on the south side of Glasgow, not only is it a big park, almost 175 acres, but it is bursting at the seams with things to see and do. Within the park you will find the usual children's play area, of which there are two, many walks and great views, but you will also be treated to The House for an Art Lover museum designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Not only that but you can even try out a spot of skiing at the Glasgow Ski Centre also set within the grounds
