The park's Winter Gardens were originally constructed in 1897 and feature a prominent cast-iron framework.
The site was historically part of the Tollcross House estate before being acquired by the city in 1896.
The Rose Garden within the park is one of the largest of its kind in the city, containing thousands of individual bushes.
Tollcross Park is a sprawling Victorian-era public green space in the East End of Glasgow. The park is home to the Winter Gardens, a notable A-listed glasshouse structure designed by A.B. McDonald. Its landscape features a dedicated children's farm housing various small animals and livestock. Visitors can explore extensive rose gardens, which bloom annually during the summer months. The park occupies a hilly site providing elevated views over the surrounding residential districts. Winding footpaths lead through wooded areas and open recreational lawns. It serves as a community hub for local recreation and outdoor exercise.
