Following on from the successful closure to vehicles at the weekend it is planned to prohibit vehicles in the park at weekends in future. Information is awaited about the proposals for the Easter holidays.

A friends group for Glasgow's largest park
That is the best news. Was in on Saturday and it was a much calmer, quieter place. I love that people want to use 5he Park but the cars were disgraceful.
Future week end closing of park to cars ? Not a good move when the Burrell collection opens and becomes an international destination for visitors from all over the world. And parking in side streets ? There was a noticeable increase this week end even during a world pandemic and off peak weather. First tops- off good weather day and every where will be rammed.
The closure has been extended to future weekends. Regarding the Burrell collection/long-term access to the park, an active travel management plan was published last year, which incorporates a major restructuring of park access and parking (our news post here).
We’re a friends group for the park, seeking to raise awareness of park developments, issues, and help to improve where we can. We’d encourage concerns/queries about the park to be raised directly with the council/councillors.
I hope the powers that be start to monitor parking in the local streets . Has anybody thought of the impact of this on local residents ?
