A brilliant play park just behind the People’s Palace museum in Glasgow Green. There’s loads to keep kids amused and it’s only a five-minute walk away from the city centre.

The main play park has a fantastic network of chutes and climbing frames and there’s an area for toddlers and nursery age children behind it. Nobody seems to bother if bigger kids (adults who haven’t grown up) join in the fun – there are no silly signs saying ‘only for children under 16’ here. The only downside is the difficulty in getting children to leave.

It would be a good idea to bring a drink and snack with you as there aren’t many shops nearby.
