Kelvingrove Park
Pros:
"Kelvingrove Park is one of the most popular parks in Glasgow, Scotland."
"Lovely sloped Park with multiple play areas and vibrant greenery."
"Beautiful green space just outside the city centre. Lots of leafy paths and great for cycling."
"Such a calm and beautiful place. We feel so lucky it's only 5 minutes away!"
"Always busy, but rarely crowded."
"Beautiful, green park specially during spring and summer."
"The park itself has plenty to do for children or adults. Lots to keep people entertained."
Cons:
"Knowing it well from before lockdown, missing a lot of the fun stuff for my young granddaughter. None of the cafes was open and no area set aside for DIY snacks, important with little ones."
"For example getting from Kevlingrove Museum into the park is not obvious, easy or well signed, requiring a walk along a worn out grass verge at side of a road."
"What is not nice are the dog owners who think they own the park and believe it’s acceptable for their dogs to not be on leashes."
"No lighting at night, take a torch."
"Entire Park Circus area was covered in litter."
"It's just too busy sometimes, for me."
"I wouldn't suggest going at night as its very unsafe then."
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Pros:
"The John Byrne exhibition was fab."
"Opportunities for interactivity with the art."
"The building itself is an impressive piece of architecture, and inside, it houses a vast collection of art and historical artifacts."
"Art Gallery and museum such a beautiful place., with countless works of art and treasures from around the world, including the Egyptian display."
"One of the most beautiful and exciting museums I have ever visited."
"The Art Gallery is always a magical place to ponder and lose yourself in."
"We were fortunate enough to be in around the time of the Organ being played and Wow we found it nothing short of fabulous."
Cons:
"It's just another regular park with skateboard and children playground. I'm not impressed with the park."
"The gallery is very big, and requires several hours to explore fully."
"The water body that runs through the park has blue algae which is toxic for dogs."
"The thing that let the day down was that most of the interactive exhibits were broken or not operating."
"Very disappointed... the rooms you were to find elves but they were standing at the entrance of each door."
"The herbaceous borders overrun with brambles and nettles are not."
"This was once a beautiful park of my youth the graffiti and damaged fountain full of rubbish is a disgusting sight."
Accessibility and Facilities
Pros:
"Parking in finnieston is easy, and with it's many choices of pubs and and restaurants its a perfect Day out."
"Good access to walkway by river Kelvin and onto the Botanic Gardens."
"Has nice restaurant/cafe at the very bottom and little cafe as you come in."
"Great cafe, good range of food and drinks and not as expensive as a lot of places."
"Cafe and shop were very good. Prices are reasonable and good to be able to buy reproductions and souvenirs of things that you see in the museum."
"Public transportations such as Kelvin Bridge subway station and bus stations are nearby."
"Facilities are well managed and clean."
Cons:
"Go to this park a lot sometimes its busy so parking can be a bother though I have a blue badge but as most places not a lot of disabled bays."
"If Glasgow city council or Scotland government can put more money in maintaining the fountain ⛲️ will be great."
"Some areas definitely require a bit of maintenance and stronger upkeep."
"My only negative point is that parking fees are too high."
"Garbage containers are full and require maintenance and cleaning."
