Website | EmailThe park was originally laid out between 1866 and 1870; the first to be established by the City Improvement Trust in an effort to keep up with the industry-driven spread of the city. It used to be the private estate of Kennie Hill but was opened to the public in 1870 by the future Queen Alexandra. Notable features include an octagonal stone lodge and especially the MacFarlane Fountain, which was built as a centrepiece for the Glasgow international exhibition of 1901. It's also home to four bowling greens, a duck pond, boating pond, play area and Alexandra Park Golf Club.
