Bellahouston Park

Bellahouston Park is a public park on Glasgow's Southside featuring rolling lawns, winding pathways, and landscaped gardens across its grounds. The park offers multiple sports facilities including tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a ski center for various recreational activities.

The Glasgow Corporation purchased the former Maxwell Estate farmland in 1895 and opened it to the public as a park in 1896. The site developed into an important recreational destination for the expanding city.

The park is home to the House for an Art Lover, an arts center built in 1996 based on Charles Rennie Mackintosh's early designs. This building draws visitors interested in Scottish design and contemporary art exhibitions.

The park is easy to navigate on foot with numerous paths suitable for joggers, walkers, and cyclists throughout the grounds. Visitors can use the sporting facilities or simply relax on the open green spaces available.

The park features a sculpture garden with metal installations, mirror structures, and a clay elephant that create surprising encounters with art. These interactive works add an unexpected creative dimension to a walk through the green spaces.
