Enjoyed the space at the dog park with our doggos! Only issue would be people not adhering to the posted rules of dog sizes in the area. I have two large dogs, one is not ok with small dogs. Someone walked in with a teacup dog to the large dog park and I told them it is for large dogs only. They told me that their dog is used to big dogs. I replied that my large dog is not okay with little dogs.
Always be cautious at dog parks because signs are there for a reason. Dogs need to be 4 months or older because that is when they should have all their vaccinations (rule is for the protection of your pup!). Large dogs can be carriers in their urine and feces and unintentionally expose a younger dog leading to severe illness or death because 4 months is the optimal time for their immune system and vaccines to be working. Additionally, 4 months and younger are very impressionable. If they have a bad experience, it could have a lifetime effect. Please follow the posted rules!

Glasgow Park is a family park where the entire family can have fun. I especially enjoy the large Hill which I have named "the Mountain at Glasgow" when walking or running this hill I have the most invigorating feeling when I reach the top. Not to mention the trail is definitely a peaceful time for me to walk and be one with nature.

Glasgow Park is appealing to all age groups, as it ranges from that area to walk your dog, or meet friends in the skatepark on a Friday.

We stopped by Glasgow Park one Friday night when they were supposed to be having their outdoor Farmer's Market. On this particular date, the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was also scheduled to be on location in the Farmer's Market area.
Upon arrival, we did spot the Weinermobile. After quite a long wait in line, we were able to get our picture taken with the Weinermobile. After getting our picture taken, we decided to check out the few stands that were set up in the Farmer's Market area. I was disappointed to find very few vendors. There were maybe 8 stands at best! I recall seeing a lady with produce, another with baked goods and a few others. We did purchase some baked goods from Beth's Homemade, but passed on most.
Overall, the Farmer's Market at Glasgow Park was very tiny. It was much smaller than I remember it being a few years back. It was really disappointing. The only upside to this visit was that the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was visiting. The COVID car was also on location.
Note: This park also has a dog park, tennis courts, basketball courts, a skate park, snow sledding hill, walking paths, children's playground, picnic pavilions and etc. My review is only of the areas I visited on this date.

We decided to take a ride out to Glasgow Park to view their Christmas lights this holiday season. Last year they had a drive-thru display. Not sure IF they offered it this year, but they did put out the decorations again. We saw that they had a few lighted trees around the Frazer House where they hold the farmer's market. So, we stopped one night to take a look. It is a big park and it seems like the decorations almost get lost. I feel like they could do a lot more with the land that they have.

We last went for sledding during that unexpected snow storm in March. They offer tennis, running/walking/skating/biking paths, a skate park, playgrounds and there seems to be more to come all of the time. The grounds are well-kept.

So many great things have been added to this park since the time I first start walking here. They repaved the walking trail, built a basketball court, a tennis court, a skating park, and installed little stations where you can stop and do certain exercises. The even have a playground for kids.

And that’s exactly what they did on this 300+ acre parcel of land that was once a working farm, every year they’ve added more attractions. This park has it all and keeps expanding. Walking and bike trails, wooded hiking trails, a man made hill, skate park designed by famed skateboarder Tony Hawk, kids playground, picnic pavilions, basketball courts, tennis courts, soccer fields, dog park, water features. And, oh yes, they old farm buildings have been preserved now and they have a farmers market on site every week in the summer. Plus tons of events throughout the year!

What is the roll-up door for in the pavilions? Just wondering if that’s accessible for the party supplies?

I have only walk around the park, but I know that pavillions can be reserved but I do not know any phone number to contact. Yes it gets busier there in the summer.

Not really sure. I think there is a plaque on the property with that information
Are there any pavilions available on Sunday in September or October 2015 for an Employee Appreciation Day for approximately 150-200 people?

They are available for rent until Oct 31. Just pull up the park and all the information is there.
I would like to know what is going to be done with the homes and barns that are fenced off, will they allow someone to restore them back.
