Pollok Country Park is a 146-hectare (361-acre) country park located between Shawlands, Crossmyloof, and Pollok in Glasgow, Scotland.[1] In 2007, Pollok Country Park was named Britain's Best Park,[2] and in 2008 it was named the Best Park in Europe, beating competition from parks in Italy, France, Germany, Poland and Sweden.[3] Despite this, by 2019 it was considered that the park was 'underused' with plans drawn up to encourage more visitors.[4]
