Barrowland Park

Seven years ago I lived in the flats on London Road opposite where this park now stands. I was 19 and I was terrified of the desolate wasteland which once sat there. It was creepy to walk past at night and I was fairly certain people got up to all sorts in there. Oh how I wish I could wake up to this lovely park view now!
Not so much of a park as a well kept bit of pavement, the Barrowland walkway park is a million times better than the ex-​taxi rank wasteland which once stood in its spot! As part of the preparation for 2014’s Commonwealth Games, this area was renovated as a tribute to the nearby, iconic, Barrowland Ballroom. The feature walkway contains the names and dates of important, iconic, or culturally significant gigs held at the famous music venue. There is no order to the list so it’s a fun exercise to find out if your first ever or favourite Barra’s gig has made the walkway! Did you know that in 1997 David Bowie and Robbie Williams both graced the stage? That Arcade Fire, Amy Winehouse and Arctic Monkeys all played in 2007? Now you do!
I recommend to go with friends to make the spotting more fun! «You were at the Hard Fi gig in 2005? So was I, how embarrassing!!»
