The arena at the north end of the park and a few of the main features.

The tree sculpture, the tall Hope sculpture and on the right the Tur viewing platform. The Tùr? It's Gaelic for tower. There are many views on that choice of name.

The park also has exercise equipment, an adventure playground and a bouldering centre for would-be climbers. The park is run by Forestry and Land Scotland. There are buses and trains nearby, ample parking and the Clyde Walkway and National Cycle Route 75 go past one of the access bridges.

The Hope sculpture is one of three across the city and is by Steuart Padwick. These sculptures are part of the legacy of COP26 in Glasgow (2022) and are well worth taking the time to investigate.

In keeping with the theme of COP26 they're all made from low carbon reclaimed or recycled materials. The child represented is race, age and gender neutral and is depicted reaching out to a better, greener future.
