Food in the Park
Food in the Park
Food is grown in the Park's allotment spaces, where there's a waiting list of over 5 years to get a space. There are cafes in the Burrell Collection and, from January 2025, at the Stables near Pollok House. When the sun shines, picnics are a popular sight.
Consider other opportunities for growing, cooking, buying or sharing food experiences throughout Pollok Country Park.
Livestock
Livestock
The animals at Pollok Country Park are its most popular residents. In the future, there may be potential to run tours with the Clydesdale horses or the Highland cows, or even the Police dogs. There’s also plenty of wildlife to spot throughout the Country Park.
Consider how visitors could meet and better experience the Park's animals and wildlife.
