TOLLCROSS PARK - Orienteering
History
Tollcross Park was the
first Glasgow Park mapped
by
STAG
back
in 1982 and played a vital part
in the early
development of the
Club.
Previous attempts to
establish a
permanent
course in 1986 and 1988 were
unsuccessful
but with the regeneration of the Park underway
we are confident the 16 control course will
be well used throughout the year.
Course checked February 2008. Posts 4 & 16 painted tops evaporated due to damp location.
