Campaigners who battled to stop an adventure course being built in a city park are claiming another victory.

After successfully opposing Glasgow City Council’s proposal to give a 21 years lease covering a large part of the North Wood of Pollok Park to Adventure Forest Ltd to develop a “Go Ape” facility, Save Pollok Park (SPP) is celebrating Glasgow City Council’s decision to put the park on the list of the council’s Common Good assets .  It means that the beauty spot, like a dozen other sites in the city, must be used “for the benefit of the community”. More information is available here.
 
Save Pollok Park members are planning a celebratory picnic in the park on Sunday, August 23, at 2pm.  They will also be holding tug-of-war challenge between two teams of campaigners – one representing SPP, the other the council.
