Kennishead: King George V Park

There are many King George V Parks. This one was opened in 1951 between Carnwadric and Kennishead in the southside of Glasgow.

King George V Park was very flooded when we visited and Rudy didn't get to enjoy running around as much as hoped. Even the less affected areas were very marshy underfoot and not so much fun for a little terrier to explore. BUT! We saw a very good rainbow!

After being kept on-lead for the first part of this adventure at Eastwood New Cemetery Rudy was a bit fed up with the weather hampering his fun in the park. He was happy to get some photos taken and then head for the train home and his warm blanket.

King George V Park is 5 minutes walk from Kennishead railway station. There are two children's playground areas, marked sports pitches and large open multi-use grass spaces. There's no formal circular path but a worn trail round the edge suggests the best dog-walking route (when not flooded!). The Auldouse Burn runs along the north side as a boundary rather than a feature.
