General information

North Lanarkshire Council is home to three country parks; Strathclyde Country Park in Motherwell, Drumpellier Country Park in Coatbridge and Palacerigg Country Park in Cumbernauld.

The parks each have several marked walking trails and many miles of surfaced footpaths through woodlands, wetlands and open parkland - ideal for those wishing to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.

For keeping energetic kids amused each park has outdoor adventure play areas. Palacerigg also provides an opportunity to see many rare breeds livestock in addition to other friendly farm animals. Or how about letting the kids feed the animals themselves? Purchase animal feed from our visitor centre and let the kids experience the excitement of feeding the farm animals. If the kids still have energy to burn, during the summer months let them enjoy our fun boats available at Drumpellier and Strathclyde (small fee applies).

The iconic Strathclyde Country Park, proud host of the 2014 Commonwealth Games is a well known watersports centre for competitive and fun activities including rowing, sailing, canoeing, pedalos, fun boats and speed boat rides. For more information regarding watersports activities and price lists please visit our website or call Strathclyde Park (contact details below).

So come along to our country parks and enjoy exploring our nature trails, spotting wildlife, visiting our places of historic interest and letting the kids blow off steam on our outdoor adventure play areas. After enjoying exploring the countryside have lunch at one of our picnic areas around the parks or enjoy something to eat in our park cafes set in beautiful countryside surroundings.
