Training in Shettleston

Football with history, and a park next door.

Shettleston's football goes back a long way: Glasgow United, nicknamed The Town, was founded in 1903 as Shettleston Juniors. Glasgow Girls FC plays here too, and SwimEasy runs small-group swimming lessons for children and adults. That's the list, so for a gym or a pool look south to Tollcross International Swimming Centre, which has two 50 m pools and a gym.

Tollcross Park, 37 hectares between Shettleston and Tollcross, hosts a free parkrun every Saturday at 9:30. Shettleston station has direct trains to Queen Street, and a partner who trains at the same times makes the trip to the pool easier.
