Transforming Pollok Country Park
This project aims to transform the park from an asset rich but under utilised historic park into a world class civic destination that is enjoyed more and more often by its citizens and visitors to the city.
The objectives of the project are to:
- Improve orientation of attractions within the park and the park within the city
- Increase usage by communities surrounding the park and remove barriers to access
- Improve access
- Support an integrated day out in the park offer
- Improve the management and care of the park's heritage assets
Works to deliver an Active Travel Management Plan in Pollok Country Park are ongoing. This Plan seeks to improve access to and within the park by promoting public transport and pedestrian links, modifying private car access and vehicular routes within the park, and improving connectivity to local areas.
The planning application is now available to view here (Reference Number 20/01352/FUL).
Parking charges are being introduced to Pollok Country Park between 10am-6pm Monday to Sunday from the 6 April 2022. The intention behind this is to encourage a modal shift to active travel where possible, which will be further supported by a free electric shuttle bus operating in the park from the 28 February 2022. New parking tariffs will apply from 2 April 2023, Monday - Sunday between 10am - 6pm, at a tariff of £5.00 for 4 hours and £10.00 for all day. You can pay using Ringgo (see signage for instructions) or via Pay and Display machines.
