Welcome to STAG & Orienteering

 


SPRINGBURN PARK - Orienteering History

The area was mapped in the mid 1980s as a STAG
Junior Project and was included in the first Glasgow
Parks Summer Series in 1989.

Another small park but with a variety of terrain it
offers a good challenge. The 10 controls will take
about 40 minutes to walk round.

Course checked August 2007. 100% ok.
