Friends of Springburn Park

We are currently working on several projects with Land Services, Countryside Rangers and the Community Planning Partnership.

If like us you are committed to improving Springburn Park we would like you to join our Management Committee. Your input can be as little as two hours per month.

Our Management Committee meet on the first Monday of every month at 7pm. Our meetings last no more than two hours.

Currently we have over 400 members, which includes over 160 Junior members. This indicates to us that local people are really interested in seeing Springburn Park improved.

Hopefully regular visitors to the park will have already noticed a few improvements. Land & Environmental Services who manage the day to day running of the park are very keen to work with us to see your aspirations met.

Many of the items you asked for in the last two FoSP Park Users Surveys have been done or are currently being worked on. Local schoolchildren have recently become more involved with park improvements and helped to plant 30 Birch trees alongside one of the parks pathways, the pathway has been renamed Birch Avenue.

A new Multi-Purpose Play Area is due to open soon at the Balgrayhill Road side of the park. A new entrance adjacent to Stobhill Hospital near the A&E entrance will be open soon too. The gardeners are working hard at the moment clearing overgrown shrubs, etc, and the park is looking good.

This years Fun Day in the Park has been provisionally booked for Saturday 25th July 12noon till 4.30pm. As always the event is reliant on funding and a Steering Group has been working on this since January.

We need your help too, if you see anyone vandalising the park you should call the police or Crimestoppers (anonymously if you like) on 0800 555 111.
