Overall Rating
Poor
Riverside Park is a fairly new feature in the Govan area of Glasgow. The main park area is pleasant with concrete pathways and a good variety of seating options, an ideal place for a picnic in the summer. Where things start to fall apart is in accessing the park. The entrance is via a whin dust path. I understand it is meant to compact, but it simply makes things more challenging for wheelchair users - so much so that a wheelchair user found themselves stuck recently. I found it difficult even with a power attachment, so heavier chairs or manual chairs wouldn’t stand a chance.

Parking & Transport
Average
I travelled to this place by personal vehicle
Parking is limited with no marked bays. I parked on the hill leading down to the park. There is also a bus stop on nearby Govan Road.
