About Auldhouse Park
Auldhouse Park is a linear public park on Glasgow's southside, managed by Glasgow City Council, lying on the east bank of the White Cart Water near Newlands. The park runs on a south-west to north-east alignment and is on level ground, offering good access for people of all abilities. For families it has a modern children's play facility, while older children and the wider community can use the Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), a multi-purpose games court that is free and open to all. The park also features robust seating, amenity grassland, two small bridges over the water and walking and cycling routes, making it as suitable for a quiet riverside stroll as for active play. It is popular locally for dog walking and is of great value to residents in the area. Connecting to the adjoining Greenbank Park greenspace, Auldhouse Park forms part of a green corridor following the White Cart Water through the southside, giving families a pleasant mix of play, sport and riverside walking.
