Queen's Park

The 60-hectare recreational space features ponds, tennis courts, sports facilities, glasshouses, an amphitheater, and multiple walking paths through landscaped grounds.

Sir Joseph Paxton designed the park in 1857 when Glasgow Corporation purchased the land from Neale Thomson to create the city's third public park.

The park bears its name in memory of Mary, Queen of Scots, who lost the Battle of Langside near this location in the 16th century.

The park includes five floodlit tennis courts, two ponds, multiple play areas, an orienteering course, and a cafe with year-round operations.

An earthwork on the hill contains archaeological evidence of a Norman ringwork castle, with excavations revealing pottery from the 14th century.
