I've had to hazard a guess at the location of a handful of them so feel free to correct me if you think I've made any mistakes.
As for the 17 'city'/'district' parks, I'll have guesses at 15 of them (not sure what the other 2 might be)...
Alexandra Park
Auchinlea Park
Bellahouston Park
Botanic Gardens
Cathkin Braes Country Park
Dawholm Park
Glasgow Green
Hogganfield Park
Kelvingrove Park
Linn Park
Pollok Country Park
Queens Park
Springburn Park
Tollcross Park
Victoria Park
It looks as though the following should be dropped from our list...
Albert Park; Bennan Square; Essenside; Garscadden Burn Park; Garscadden Wood; George Square; Gorget Park; Greenbank Park; Huntingtower Park; Old Station Park; Peterson Park; Pirie Park; Shawhill Park; Trinley Brae; Yorkhill Park
I'm surprised that Albert Park isn't a designated local park and I strongly doubt it is one of the 17 city/district parks. Also slightly confused by the omissions of Bennan Square and Greenbank Park considering both have GCC park signs at them. The Bennan Square sign doesn't actually contain the work 'park' though I suppose. I suspect that GCC might view Greenbank Park as being a part of Auldhouse Park.
Do we think that George Square is one of the 'city' parks? Does Blythswood Square fall into the same category?
I've seen a new park called 'Dams to Darnley Mill Country Park' (shared responsibility between GCC and ERC) mentioned online - is that a designated 'district' park?
