Hey everyone! Last Sunday, after church, my partner and I decided to visit Springburn Park for a chill day out and to snap some fab pics of my lime green outfit.
Springburn Park is located in the north of Glasgow, Scotland. It’s about 2.8 miles from the city center and spans a whopping 31 hectares (or 77 acres!). This park is not just huge but also super pretty with its extensive spring and summer bedding, vibrant bulbs, wallflowers, and polyanthus. If you’re into plants and flowers, it’s definitely a must-visit!
The park has loads of facilities catering to everyone. Whether you're into sports or just looking to relax, you’ve got options like a synthetic football pitch with floodlights, a juvenile football pitch, a multi-purpose games court, three bowling greens, a cricket pitch, and even an orienteering course!

One cool feature is the Glasgow City Health Walks, which happen here. They’re perfect for anyone looking to get into walking as a gentle exercise. The routes are short, ranging from half a mile to two miles, and they’re mainly on flat ground, making them ideal for beginners. For more info on these walks, visit Glasgow city council.
Public toilets are available at the Bowling Pavilion (May to September), Stobhill Hospital, and Springburn Leisure Centre.

Fun fact: The park was first acquired by Glasgow Corporation in 1892. Back then, it was just agricultural land with an old ironstone pit and quarry. It was developed with contributions from Sir James Reid and his family, and even had a Winter Gardens built, thanks to a generous donation. Although the Winter Gardens are currently closed due to structural issues, there are plans to restore them.

The park’s history is pretty fascinating too! Mosesfield House, nearby, was built in 1838 and has had quite a journey, from being a merchant’s home to a museum and an old men’s club. Plus, the first motor car ever made in Scotland was built in its yard!

Check out this massive Leyland Cypress tree I spotted at Springburn park! These trees are seriously huge and can grow up to 40 meters tall – that’s like a giant green tower! The foliage is super dense and hides most of the trunk, which makes it look extra lush.
The bark is this cool red-grey color with ridges, and the twigs are thin, brown, and really flexible. When you crush the leaves, they give off a fresh, resin-y smell. Oh, and the male cones are yellow and pop out at the tips of the twigs, while the female cones are rounded. Nature is so awesome, right?

Purple-loosestrife!
Its magenta flowers are so striking as they shoot up in impressive spikes among the grasses. They have multiple tall stems can grow from just one root stock. It usually flowers between June and August, which is perfect timing because its nectar is like a feast for long-tongued insects.

Ragwort
It can grow up to 90 cm high and has these awesome, large, flat-topped clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom from July to October.
In Britain, there are actually 19 different species of Ragwort in the Senecio genus that you can find in the wild.

It’s perfect for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. One of the most popular varieties is called ‘Lucifer,’ and it’s famous for its stunning flame-red flowers that really stand out.

Springburn park pond
We saw so many different kinds of birds around the ponds, and it was absolutely mesmerizing to watch them all fluttering around.
There was this really eye-catching sign that said “Men’s Shed” close to the pond. We kept wondering what it meant and what it was used for, until I searched online and found out that Springburn park Mens shed is an organization is all about providing recreational facilities and helping men of all ages and backgrounds in Springburn and the surrounding areas.
They offer opportunities for men to meet up and engage in creative, physical, and recreational activities that they choose. They work to reduce isolation among men, which is great for both physical and mental well-being. They help men in the area share their skills and knowledge with others in the community.
It’s such a cool initiative to support and connect people!

We noticed that this particular bird was active but didn't fly or try to search for food, and it didn't get into the water. We looked closer and it was a pigeon. I guess it was tired or sick because it just stayed by the pond and sat there for a long time.

We noticed that this particular bird was active but didn't fly or try to search for food, and it didn't get into the water. We looked closer and it was a pigeon. I guess it was tired or sick because it just stayed by the pond and sat there for a long time.

Your work is beautiful. You put so much into one post that I bet a lot of people don't get to the bottom. Frankly, most of us in this blog space are actually non-commercial, so It feels uncomfortable to have so many ads! I'm looking at the shop for hat link that has followed me all the way down here. At the risk of coming off rude, I have only intended share an honest response with you and I hope it's helpful. Hope you are finding the rewards you deserve. Wishing you all the best! Aloha
ReplyDeleteThank you for your honest feedback; I appreciate your perspective. Balancing content with other elements is challenging. After reading your message is adjusted the ad placement. Your well wishes mean a lot. Mahalo!
DeleteThat's an extensive visit, and your outfit is catchy. Men's Shed is international in the sense that there are chapters all over. There is one in our town in Ontario, Canada. I do not belong although I know some of the guys who hang out there.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your insight! It’s interesting to hear about the global reach of Men's Shed. Ontario’s chapter must be a great community space. Thanks for sharing your local connection!
DeleteHi Melody :)
ReplyDeleteNext your great posts with photos while I get to explore new places I've never been!
Melody, that Park is stunning. I like it very much! Wonderful nature and swans - and an interesting fact: I bought myself a swan brooch today :)
My friend, I salute you and I wish you a beautiful Wednesday!
Hi there! I’m glad you enjoyed the post and photos, and it’s lovely that the park resonated with you. What a delightful coincidence with your new swan brooch! Wishing you a fantastic Wednesday as well!
DeleteThat's a beautiful park. Your photos are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the park, and I appreciate your kind words about the photos.
DeleteWow! What a beautiful series of images. I love them.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very complex blog. I'll explore it.
Thank you for your visit!
All the best to you!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m happy you enjoyed the images. I appreciate you taking the time to explore the blog. Wishing you all the best as well!
DeleteWhat a wonderful post with some awesome photos of what seems like a nice place to visit
ReplyDeleteThank you! I’m glad the post and photos resonated with you. It really is a lovely place to explore!
DeleteOh my, the park looks lovely. I do so enjoy having a walkabout exploring the beauty around us!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the park's beauty! Exploring and appreciating nature is always a refreshing experience.

Your lime green outfit looks stunning against all that greenery!
Thank you! I’m delighted you enjoyed the blend of nature, history, and community. The lime green outfit was indeed a fun contrast with the park’s greenery!
Deletewhat a lovely park for a wander and a riot of colour in spring. Beautiful. I hope they restore the winter garden. Have a lovely week and thankyou so much for visiting my blog this week. It was great to 'meet' you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words! The park is indeed vibrant in spring. I share your hope for the winter garden’s restoration. It was wonderful connecting with you—wishing you a lovely week ahead!

ReplyDeleteI love taking photos and sharing with you all.
DeleteMelody, your photos are beautiful! I haven't been to Glasgow yet so love this opportunity to explore a hidden green space. I especially enjoyed the photos of all the birds and the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that even if you have not visited Glasgow, you still get to experince the city through my blog.
Deletebjr et merci pour la visite sur mon blog cela m a fait tres plaisir amities nadine
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteCiao, che bel posto !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGrazie per essere passata da me. Ciao
ReplyDeletePhotos are amazing, thanks for the post
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteThank you for taking us to Springburn park with you. It was fun to learn more about its history. The swan photo is gorgeous. What a lovely park! It's great that it has a disabled friendly parking. I also really liked reading about the initiative for men. I read that many men in Western countries struggle with their mental health, so it's great they have a place to connect, share skills and do some socializing. Men's Shad honestly sounds like such a great initiative. Thanks for sharing! Your posts are not only visually stunning, but also educating.
ReplyDeleteThe photos you guys took are so pretty. I also love your cowboy style outfit. Such a cool trench!
The cowboy style, have been one of my outstanding outfits the season, and I am glad you all love it. Springburn is not the city center, but I like the hidden gems around that area. Mental health is open to everyone, and I am glad men are beginning to seek help.
DeleteYes, it is very important to seek health.
DeleteNice :) I love the photos of the birds. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBeautiful post! The birds are delightful.
ReplyDeleteBirds are not only delightful, they are also entertaining, especially when you've got food for them. lol

ReplyDeleteHola! Una hermosa visita, un parque lleno de naturaleza y belleza, muy buenas fotografías. Abrazo
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your wonderful Glasgow posts, it makes me a little sad that our revised itinerary isn't going to take us there! What a splendid park this is!
ReplyDeleteDear Melody,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at the nature in the park with you. I was last in Glasgow in 1988, so it was "a while" ago 😉 and unfortunately I didn't get to know Springburn Park back then. Now I know it through your beautiful pictures.
My German blog friend Astrid has a monthly linkup "My Friend the Tree" - you could link your Leyland Cypress there if you like:

I also think the "Men's Shed" initiative is very commendable.
Your green outfit suits you well!
All the best from Austria, Traude
