   Levengrove Park, which I recently had the pleasure of visiting. The grounds are exceptionally well maintained, reflecting a high standard of care and attention. The beautiful flower displays throughout the park add a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that is truly delightful. Additionally, the spacious paths provide ample room for various visitors, including dog walkers, families, and runners, ensuring a pleasant experience for all. The park’s location, overlooking the River Clyde, offers stunning views and contributes to its serene environment. Furthermore, the historical significance of Levengrove Park adds a layer of cultural value that enhances its appeal to visitors interested in both nature and heritage. I would also like to commend the variety of amenities available within the park. The thoughtfully designed play area provides a safe and enjoyable space for children, while the café offers a convenient spot for refreshments. The clean and well-maintained toilet facilities further demonstrate the commitment to visitor comfort.

   I love this park. It was beautiful and peaceful. The grounds are always well maintained. We had a coffee in the cafe, staff were all friendly and efficient. The only downfall was that 2 of the 3 toilets were out of order due to vandalism. Which has nothing to do with the staff and all to do with who is visiting.

   A really nice park, well maintained by the local authority. Great for dog walks, a fantastic play area for young kids and a cafe that serves a good range of drinks and snacks. Could do with some public water taps to give the dogs a drink.

   A hidden gem by Google, if you search Levengrove Park on Google map, it will jump to Kelvingrove park. Hidden literally form most Google user. A well maintained park just seat opposite sides of the rock. A exquisite park but not at all small. There is car park beside the bridge Street. After walking in the park you can also take the opportunity in walking to the town center along the river shore.

   There is no car park except for 4 disabled spaces beside the pavilion in the park itself. You need to park on Clydeshore Road or Woodyard Road and they can get quite busy if the sun is out. There is a small play park but it can get really busy. There is a pavillion where you can buy food and drink. It's also where the toilets are located. There is only 2 unisex toilets and 1 parent and child/disabled toilet so there can be long queues to use them. The toilets close at 3 o'clock but I don't know if it's winter time and open later in summer. There is a few picnic tables around the park. There is a tarmac walk round the park and it takes you to the water front and there is a lot of benches so you can sit and relax and watch the water go by. You also have wonderful views of Dumbarton Castle. There is plenty of grassy areas where you can play football, tennis, or let your dog run about.
