Glasgow Green’s Playpark and Palace in Crisis | Glasgow News

Glasgow Green’s beloved West Playpark is in disrepair after a fire five years ago, with broken equipment, unsafe ground, and outdated fencing — locals are calling it “atrocious” and demanding real investment. The council says they’re tackling safety fixes now and have set aside £40k for long-term upgrades, with other play areas in the Calton ward also slated for improvement by 2027. But the issues run deeper: community leaders are also pushing for missing amenities like picnic spots and restrooms, and raising alarms over the stalled People’s Palace restoration — closed since April last year due to structural problems, with demolition of newer sections under consideration to make way for modern facilities. Funding talks are ongoing as Glasgow Life races to secure millions needed to reopen the museum, but no firm reopening date is set yet.
