Reviews
"Beautiful gardens and house! Car park costs 2.50 pounds for 4h, or 4.50 for full day. To enter the house, 8.50 pounds per adult (concession prices available as well). I did not go into the house as it was closed by the time I went there (closes at 430), but wandered the gardens. Access to the gardens are free and very scenic, perfect for a picnic! There are also some coos to be seen! This would make for a nice one hour stroll in the afternoon."
"Great park with easy access by car ( parking costs for 2h is £2,50 or £4,50 for all day). It is a big park with lots of different walks on offer which makes it a great place for families days out and romantic walks with the loved ones. Unfortunately only some walks are wheelchair users accessible but hopefully with time and a lot of work being done in this park that will change soon. In the middle of the park there is a Pollok house that you can visit by extra cost and booking a visit online before arrival."
"Great day out at The Burrell Collection in Pollok Park. Free entry.. £4.50 all day parking. Lovely restaurant, very helpful staff. Good access for wheelchairs, buggy etc. Free guided tours plus an app you can download for information on the exhibits. We'll worth a visit."
"A great place to go for a walk, especially with your dogs. Our Beagles really enjoyed running around in the huge open space. There were tons of great things to see and there were lots of places to sit and enjoy a bite to eat with great views. We spent hours here and walked 14k steps; we are very excited to visit here again! It's only a few minutes walk from the train station too so it's very easily accessible."
"What a beautiful park. With so much green space, it’s great for exercising in. My partner and I came here for a lengthy walk and the scenery is stunning. Huge woodland, ponds, wee garden maze, and a river. What’s not to like?! Made us feel like we weren’t in Glasgow anymore. We live in the East End and actually walked the whole way there, but it was so worth it!"
