North Lanarkshire is home to a brilliant collection of parks that are enjoyed by both locals and visitors.
Glaswegians choose these parks to head to if they fancy a day out of the city, with all of these outdoor spaces being the perfect spot to head to with the family during the summer months.
Here are eight of the best parks to visit in North Lanarkshire this summer.

4. Cumbernauld House Park
This 19-hectare park is mainly conserved to its informal original layout with sloping and flat areas of grassland with footpaths around the perimeter. It hosts a number of ancient specimen trees. Spectacular views as far as the Campsie fells and the Ochil hills can be seen from the top end of the park. | NLC
