Springburn Park

For Glaswegians, Springburn is synonymous with the railway industry and the park is no exception. Opened in 1892 on former industrial land, the Reid family of the nearby North British locomotive works were major contributors to the development of the park.

A memorial statue of James Reid can be found in the park.


Unfortunately, the Winter Gardens have fallen into disrepair and await funding to restore them to their former glory.


This column with a (now hornless) unicorn on top stands nearby the Winter Gardens.


There are a few lakes in the park, formal and informal.
