Friends of Victoria park
Victoria Park is one of the finest parks in the city. We want to make sure it’s well cared for and improved at a time when the budget for parks is under severe pressure.
We keep in close touch with Glasgow City Council to highlight maintenance issues. We seek funding to make improvements for example for new play equipment. We organise volunteers to look after the rosebeds, plant wild flowers, improve habitat for the wild fowl and arrange other events.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact us.
We are determined to make sure that the former blaes pitches area which the council considered for commercial development in 2013 is fully integrated with the park as beautiful green space.
We are very concerned about the deterioration of the parks unique Fossil Grove, a major site of scientific interest.
