Pubs/Cafes

The park has a courtyard cafe selling a good range of meals and snacks.

Dog Walking

The woodland and river trails are ideal for dog walking so you'll probably see plenty of other owners on your visit. There are lots of off lead areas and bins provided too. The on site cafe is also dog friendly.

Further Information and Other Local Ideas

Head east from the park and you can visit Strathclyde Country Park and Chatelherault Country Park where there are more lovely riverside walks. You can also pick up the Clyde Walkway near here and enjoy cycling or walking along the Clyde River to the photogenic ruins of the 13th century Bothwell Castle.
