Ruchill Park covers 21 hectares around a hillock with a lit flagpole, known locally as Ben Whitton, and its view takes in the whole city. Ruchill parkrun is a free 5k there every Saturday at 9:30am, and the park has a 12-hole disc golf course too. The Forth and Clyde Canal runs through Ruchill, and since 2022 the Stockingfield footbridge has linked it towards Maryhill. Hill repeats on Ben Whitton go better with company.
