Congratultions to Rouken Glen Park on yet another successful year for awards. I have submitted the following motion in support of its success.
Motion Number: S5M-02358
That the Parliament congratulates Rouken Glen Park in Eastwood on being nominated for the UK’s Best Park Award; understands that the park, which has been at the heart of the local community for over 100 years, has received such recognition because it is one of Scotland’s most spectacular outdoor facilities and because of a recent large-scale refurbishment resulting in facilities such as a renovated pavilion visitor centre and a £270,000 children’s playground; acknowledges that the competition is hosted by the organisation, Fields in Trust, whose mission is to ensure that all members of the public, from old, young, able or disabled, have the opportunity to experience top of the range, outdoor facilities, and wishes Rouken Glen Park, which also features one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Scotland, every success in its quest to be named as the best park in the UK.
