Glasgow Green Park

Glasgow Green is the oldest park in the city, founded in the middle of the XV century and located in the eastern part of Glasgow, on the north bank of the Clyde River.

In 1450, King James II gave Bishop William Turnbull and the townspeople a piece of land. However, the park was ennobled only in the early XIX century. In the park erected the first in the UK monument to Admiral Nelson, but, unfortunately, it has not survived.

In 1898, the park opened the People's Palace, a cultural center for residents, which since the 1940s has become a museum of Glasgow history.

Currently, the park is a vast recreation area, which includes, in addition to historical attractions, playgrounds and sports grounds, a winter garden, a football field. The park often hosts public events and concerts.

For tourists, the park is attractive because, along with gaining knowledge of the history of Glasgow, the park allows you to feel the atmosphere of life of modern residents of the city, get acquainted with their leisure and hobbies.
