A local play and green-space break / BEARSDEN

Colquhoun Park

Use Colquhoun Park for an easy-going outdoor break, with space for a short wander or age-appropriate play. Its wetland features also show how an ordinary town park can manage heavy rainfall and support wildlife. This is a useful addition to a small Bearsden outing rather than a destination that needs a packed full-day itinerary.

Before you go

The wetland areas have a practical flood-management role. Stay on suitable paths and do not treat the water as a paddling or skating facility.

The practical details

Where to find it: Colquhoun Park, Bearsden, East Dunbartonshire
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: No ordinary park admission is charged. Booked sports use, events or facilities may have separate arrangements; check local notices before relying on a particular area.
Access and getting around: Choose paths and play equipment that suit your group. Wet ground and temporary works can affect access; council investment in sports facilities does not guarantee every area is available on a particular day.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: A play stop can balance a quiet archaeology visit. Supervise near water and select equipment for each child’s age and ability.
