Outdoor pool in Motherwell

“Wonderful peaceful place to go for a walk and take in some nature. This area is my go to place locally for walking the dogs, pathways are extensive and mixed, in relatively good condition (although some eroded by River Clyde) and currently there is obviously some work going on to provide markers and new information boards. If visiting please take your litter with you, I often see volunteers cleaning it up which they shouldn’t have to.”

“We had a lovely BBQ dayout on a warm day. There is plenty of open space for large outdoor parties, and activities for all ages, M&Ds is next door, boating, cycling and kid's play area. Nice walks around the loch. Pls dont use disposable bbqs on the grass, dispose off ash carefully and leave the area clean for other users.”

“First time at the park today with my 2 dogs. Great area with a small wooded for lots of sniffing too. Love the tables and the covered area in case of rain. Will definitely be back.”

“Amazing place. Great venue for any sporting events”

“Great place to walk. Mostly flat. 3 miles walk around the lake and takes roughly an hour”

“Lots of different choice of classes for adults and kids. Running track is well maintained and there's also a nice play parks for the kids.”

“I’m a very demanding customer when it comes to food, and Monterey Jack’s truly delivered 100%. The hamburgers are world-class — juicy, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. The fries were crispy and just right. The service was friendly, fast, and professional. Everything — from the food to the atmosphere — was top-notch. Highly recommended!”

“I've been coming here for years with my husband and cousin, mostly for the arcade. There is a great section of machines to play, from plush grabby machines, and a couple of giant crane games, 2p pushers, barbour snip, virtual reality games, like water-skiing, dance move games, football, basketball, punch bag, tower of tickets etc. Plenty to keep you entertained for hours. There is also an age restricted arcade and a prize station. M&Ds has had a modern update and you can purchase a card to play machines and put credit on them and also to use to build up your tickets for the prize station (not all machine, you still need coins for some). Bistro in the Loch has a good selection of food from sandwiches, cakes, ice cream, with a breakfast menu with additional seating inside aswell as out and drinking bowls for dogs. There is also a bowling alley (Cosmic bowl) with multiple lanes, snooker and pool tables, a sports bar, the recently renovated Montery Jack's with an excellent food menu, a wee gift shop selling mostly sweets (a bit overpriced), Amazonian for seeing exotic animals and a decent sized funfair with various rides, and Krazy Congo soft play. Also, the props and the decoration of the building inside is impressive with so much thought to detail. The staff here are a great bunch of people from the machine maintenance guys, the security guy and especially the manageress, Karen. She's a lovely gal who you see power walking around the building adding glam and beauty to the neon and flashy lights of the arcade. She's always there for a chat and a laugh and just great craic. It's always great to see her. Overall, M&Ds is a great day out with a variety of things to do and right next to Strathclyde country park. There are good options for food and drink,parking is free and plentiful too. There are always events going on at different times of the year and the website or app is a good source of information for keeping up to date and checking for opening and closing times as not every facility opens and closes at the same time. https://scotlandsthemepark.com/opening-times/ Strathclyde Country Park, Motherwell, Scotland ML1 3RT”
