The Botanic Gardens, situated in the west end not far from Glasgow University, is a popular park for those wishing to relax or visit the gardens. Kelvingrove Park, the largest park in the west end offers a recreation area in a busy part of the city. Part of a fine piece of urban landscaping, it includes the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. A newly opened skate park is also very popular, especially at weekends. Glasgow Green is Glasgow's oldest park and its history can be traced back as far as 1450. Within the grounds of Glasgow Green is the Peoples Palace and Winter Gardens, the former a museum dedicated to the life and times of Glasgow and its people; the latter an elegant Victorian glasshouse where you can relax among the tropical plants and enjoy the café. Rouken Glen park on the city's south side boasts a boating pond, Highland cattle, pitch and putt, gardens, a garden centre, a Chinese restaurant and some beautiful glen walks past spectacular waterfalls.
