Spending time outdoors can have a positive impact on both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Gentle exercise, fresh air and time in nature can help people stay active, boost mood and maintain a sense of independence.
Across Glasgow South and East Renfrewshire, there are a number of accessible parks that are well suited to relaxed walks and quieter outings.
Where are the best accessible parks in South Glasgow?
1. Rouken Glen Park
