Glasgow Green is a historic public park that has served the city since 1450, making it the oldest in Glasgow. Spread over 55 hectares along the River Clyde, it provides a peaceful retreat with wide lawns, tree-lined avenues, and the iconic Doulton Fountain. Visitors can stroll, picnic, or enjoy sports facilities. The park also hosts major events like concerts and the annual Glasgow Fair. Its rich history and central location make it a beloved green oasis.

- The Templeton Building, a colorful Victorian factory resembling the Doge's Palace in Venice
- The People's Palace museum at the park's edge, telling Glasgow's social history
