A walk by Pinkston Watersports in Glasgow


Oh my gosh, I just love going for walks around here! You wouldn’t believe how close Pinkston Watersports is—like, five steps from the Sighthill neighborhood! I walk by all the time, and it's just the best watching people at the water. There’s always something fun going on, whether it’s kayaking, canoeing, or even white water tubing! It’s so cool because Pinkston is actually home to Scotland’s only artificial whitewater course, and the water is so clean, it’s even good enough for swimming!

What’s really special is that Pinkston Watersports isn’t just about fun (though there’s plenty of that!); it’s part of the Glasgow 2014 Legacy and run by volunteers, which makes it feel super community-focused. They want everyone to get involved in watersports, and there are clubs, events, and coaching for all levels. So if you’re experienced, you can just pop in for a “Park and Play” session, but if you’re new, there are these white water taster sessions that are perfect for getting started. And if you get hooked (which I bet you will), you can even do progression lessons! It sounds intense, but I think it could be so rewarding.

Oh, and it’s not just about the water! There are also land activities like archery, team games, and bushcraft, which sound like such a blast. It’s like the perfect place for groups, whether you’re into watersports or just want to have some outdoor fun. I always feel like there’s something new to see or try when I walk by. It’s just such a cool vibe, and I totally recommend checking it out!
