| Comment | Well. There's nothing to see. The reservoir is completely concealed from view and fenced off.
However, Springburn Park is a gem that many folk miss a trick with by never going to it.
It's worth a visit to have a look at the old Winter Gardens building, the Mosesfield House, the Balgray fountain, a very impressive rockery, couple of cool statues, couple of nice ponds, a nature trail with plenty of wildlife and the peace garden which has a small monument gifted to the city by A-bomb survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And, like I said, it's the highest natural point within the city limits so it offers pretty good views from certain bits. On a very clear day you can see the hilltops on the Isle of Arran!
It's a belter of a park. One of my favourites in the city. I keep meaning to join the 'Friends of Springburn Park' and never get round to it. It's nowhere near as good as it once was (Victorian days) and the council neglect the fuck out of it because Springburn, but it's a great park that more people need to go visit! |
