The arena at the north end of the park with a few of the main features.
The tree sculpture, the Hope sculpture and on the right the Tur viewing platform.
The Tur? It's Gaelic for tower and is normally spelled as Tùr. There are many views on the choice of name.
The park also has exercise equipment, an adventure playground and a bouldering centre for would-be climbers.

The stylised tree sculpture (about which there is no information so if you know anything please get in touch).
The Hope sculpture is one of three across the city and is by Steuart Padwick. These sculptures are part
of the legacy of COP26 in Glasgow (2022) and are well worth taking the time to investigate.
In keeping with the theme of COP26 they're all made from low carbon reclaimed or recycled materials. The child represented is race, age and gender neutral and is depicted reaching out to a better, greener future.
