A small local nature reserve offering a network of paths between various housing schemes. The park offers a number of cyclical pathed routes through the local flora and fauna, lasting 1-1.5 miles.There is space to throw a ball, and plenty of lovely plant specimens along the way. It's short, but if you're passing the Kirkintilloch area with your dog, worth a wee stroll. Watch out for roe deer.

Be careful of big aggressive dogs off leads, across at the running park is safer however watch for the glass. -

We live next to the nature reserve so do this walk most mornings. Lots of different paths to walk and dogs are very friendly
