Bellahouston Park Reviews Summary

Concerts and Events

Pros:

• "Went to see Muse there 3 days ago. The best gig I've ever been to for organisation."
• "Arctic Monkeys on 25th June 2023 was awesome at this venue.....only issue was traffic afterwards."
• "Was here for a gig and it was a great venue! There were plenty of toilets and bars so you didn't have to que too long."
• "Went to a gig to see Foo Fighters. Access to the area cordoned off for this was easy and well sign posted, lots of security to help also."
• "What an amazing night at the cure concert summer sessions at bellahouston park in Glasgow."

Cons:

• "The queues for the drinks were unbelievably busy and very limited drinks."
• "No infrastructure to deal with parking and traffic management after an Artic Monkey’s concert."
• "It was very muddy for the Cure concert without enough walkways."
• "It was chaos leaving, no signage for buses or taxis, no one knew where they were going."
• "It was also badly lit on departure so potentially dangerous."
• "Only a small section of the park has coverings on the ground when the area is used for gigs."

Park Facilities and Maintenance

Pros:

• "Lovely swards of green very well maintained but we were looking for the putting green which was mentioned in the blurb but when we found it, we think, no sign of the holes being signed numbers or where to obtain balls and putters?"
• "The park is renowned for its beautiful green spaces, rolling lawns, and tree-lined avenues."
• "Bellahouston Park also boasts excellent sports facilities, including tennis courts and a skate park."
• "Great for walks, leisure centre and palace of arts both in grounds. Dry ski slope, free outdoor gym equipment, separate dog park, running and cycling tracks."
• "The park has art and sculpture within in - I found a lot of that near House for an Art Lover and there is also a good playpark just behind House for an Art Lover too."
• "The playground is well designed, even has an innovative and safe rope slide."
• "Lovely park with lots to do. Three play parks, a maze, sunken garden, bike track, bowls, football pitches..."

Cons:

• "It's a lovely park but such a shame it's not kept cleaner."
• "The children's play area is tired and overgrown with weeds. Badly needs updating."
• "Showing signs of neglect which is a pity. The large flat expanse by Mosspark Boulevard is a bit bleak and at the moment is having major works done on the ground."
• "Bellahouston park has been neglected over the last couple of years with COVID, the gardens have been neglected as is the maze."
• "Used to be my favourite park but it's forgotten about and neglected now."
• "Glasgow City Council are really, really neglecting our parks. Overgrown everything, shabby signage and info boards, dirty, litter strewn, dilapidated buildings."
• "Unfortunately there is always a lot of litter and broken glass."

• "Easily accessible by public transport, Ibrox subway is approx 10 minute walk from the Paisley Road West entrance."
• "Parking is easy (on non match days at Ibrox)."
• "But overall a great and safe venue."
• "It feels safe, there's lots of grass and paths. It is well maintained."

Cons:
