Kelvingrove Park, Public park in West End, Glasgow, Scotland
The 85-acre green space stretches along both sides of the River Kelvin, featuring walking paths, gardens, monuments, and recreational facilities.
The Town Council purchased the land in 1852 for £99,569, transforming the former Kelvingrove and Woodlands estates into a recreational space for Glasgow residents.
The Stewart Memorial Fountain stands as the main monument, commemorating the introduction of fresh water from Loch Katrine to Glasgow in the 1850s.
Visitors can access sports facilities including a skate park, bowling greens, croquet grounds, and numerous paths connecting different sections of the park.
Rangers Football Club originated in this location when four founders met in March 1872 to establish what would become one of Scotland's major sports institutions.
