VICTORIA PARK, GLASGOW
Victoria Park, Victoria Park Drive North, Glasgow.
August 2021 — The Glasgow Parks COVID-19 Lockdown Series
Anchored by its expansive boating pond, Victoria Park has given the West End a sense of openness and vitality for generations. By August 2021, as the city slowly emerged from months of strict COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, the park became a vibrant stage for a community rediscovering its collective energy and outdoor life.
This print captures a moment of active recovery, where civic care, wildlife, and human movement converge across the water and lawns. It captures the quiet optimism of a neighbourhood stepping back into shared activity, finding joy in motion and familiar local nature after a prolonged period of isolation.
Look closely at the scene to find the rich tapestry of park life unfolding around the pond: swans, ducks, moorhens, and seagulls gather along the water, while park keepers are busy at work maintaining the grounds. Along the paths, an elderly man jogs with his son—a touching moment of intergenerational connection; nearby, a dog enjoys a gentle outing in a pushchair. On the open grass, group sports are starting up again as restrictions ease, bringing back the long-missed sights and sounds of team play.
It stands as a lively social record of post-lockdown renewal: a celebration of wild waterfowl, community care, and the enduring pull of our public green spaces.
