Introduction

The beautiful Tollcross Park might be best known for its International Rose Trials and Winter Garden, but it’s packed full of hidden gems as well, making it one of Glasgow’s most popular parks. Located north of the River Clyde and to the east of Glasgow city centre, Tollcross Park covers 91 acres and has been open to the public since 1897. In 2008, it was voted the best park in Scotland. Beyond its best-known attractions, the park also boasts a children’s farm, a nature walk where it’s possible to spot bats, foxes and woodpeckers, a Secret Garden, an orienteering course and a children’s play area.
