This is a new park that has just opened in Govan, Unfortunately its not too disabled friendly. The main path is a type of sand which isn't great for scooter wheels, nearly got bogged down a few times, especially when leaving. Not sure how good it would be for a wheelchair user. There is a concrete path round a sunken area that has seating. Though it is a foot down to another sandy area, there is a small ramp made of sand, looks like an afterthought tbh. There is a third sandy area/path as well. There's is a cobbled area but that is to be expect due to the origianl purpose of the graving docks. The old pumphouse is there and can be viewed in one section and you can go into one area which is flat and photogenic. It does offer the opportunity of different views the sights round the clyde, like the Riverside Museum and Science Centre.

Thanks for reviewing Craig71 – saw your review quoted on a BBC News article this morning. Such a shame that a new park has managed to get things wrong.
