Why on earth should parks be used to build housing?
Glasgow has a massive amount of brownfield land sitting vacant - use that before looking at parks. Also, there are tons of empty, boarded-up council houses. Renovate them instead.

Congratulations to the members of the public who helped save the park, you're a real asset to the city.

I AGREE WITH MILTON, THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PLACES IN GLASGOW TO BUILD. I ALSO AGREE WITH HIM ON RENOVATING HOUSES. GLASGOW PEOPLE SHOULD BE GLAD OF THE GREEN SPACES AND KEEP THEM, OTHER CITIES DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY. LOOK AT GEORGES SQUARE FOR INSTANCE, IT WAS ONCE A LOVELY GREEN SPACE TO SIT AND HAVE LUNCH
AND LIE ON THE GRASS TO SOAK UP A WE BIT OF THE SUN DURING LUNCH HOURS. NOW ITS ALL RED BRICK AND LOOKS UGLY, SO I SAY "KEEP THE GREEN SPACES".

Demolish the old mingin houses and build brand new,also leave the public(I mean PUBLIC PARKS alone)they belong to the people of Glasgow,not seen many marches demanding they be sold off.Totaly agree with milton plenty of brown field sites to dispose of first.

and while I'm at it return George square roundabout to its former glory, the council can buy the huge st Enochs car park down at the Briggait and turn that into a civic square Do something sensible for a change, don't say they don't have the money there forever selling buildings.
