City Parks | Hogganfield Park

Hogganfield location map

Hogganfield Park is just two miles from the centre of Glasgow, and is close to one of Scotland's biggest housing estates.

On the face of it this seems an unlikely setting to find some interesting nature but Hogganfield Park is one of the best urban wildlife spots in the whole country.
