This seminar will explore the theme of contemporary urban outdoor recreation in Glasgow, which is gearing up to both host the 2014 Commonwealth Games and enjoy its legacy.
Throughout the morning we will delve into how Scotland’s access rights are being delivered and addressed within Scotland’s largest city; followed by a presentation on Forestry Commission Scotland’s Commonwealth Community Woodlands Initiative, which is their contribution to the Commonwealth Games national legacy plan; and last but not least, Scottish Canals will present on their plans for recreation provision in and around Glasgow on the canals network, with a focus on the new paddlesport facility which has been developed in the heart of the city.
