Pollok Country park plays an important part in the lives of many communities across the south-side of Glasgow. The Friends of Pollok Country park hope to enable those communities to get involved in making a difference to the park.
Who are we?
We’re a group of park users who care about Pollok Country park. We’ve setup an unincorporated association, “Friends of Pollok Country park”. We organise regular meetings and volunteer work parties to help contribute to the park.
You can also now join the group (membership is free, although can make a small donation if you wish). To stay in touch with news, you can also like us on facebook or follow us on twitter, or subscribe to news updates via email, or pop along to our next meeting.
You can find minutes from our meetings, and details of our work parties and plans, on our news page. Our constitution, as amended at the 2019 AGM, is available here too.
If you’d like to make a one-off donation to the group, you can do so via our donations page.
