About Old Station Park
A wee bit of history
This park is built on the site of the Hyndland Railway Station Terminus. It was the end of a spur line off the Partick to Anniesland railway line. The station closed in 1960. The railway infrastructure was removed over a number of years and station building was demolished in 1970. The forerunner of this park, an asphalt football pitch with landscaped surroundings, was opened in 1975.
The Ghost Train
Here's how the old terminus fitted with modern surroundings.
A wee bit of of modern day history
The much improved park which exists today is largely the result of lobbying, hard work and fund-raising by local volunteers who, in 2008, inaugurated the Friends of Old Station Park group, in liaison with the Parks Department of Glasgow City Council. The Parks Department continues the overall maintenance of the park, whilst the Friends develop planting and measures to encourage biodiversity.

Old Station Park Habitats
The natural world will always fight to gain a foothold in an urban or post-industrial environment. In Old Station Park its Friends have followed a course of planting and upkeep to encourage biodiversity. In particular, wildflower habitats have been created to support bee species, butterflies and other insects.
Enormous thanks to our generous sponsors
