SuperPark opening in Glasgow

SuperPark Glasgow, based in Frasers Plus Braehead, the recently rebranded Braehead Shopping Centre, has announced that it will soon be opening its doors to the public. 

Part of a global, indoor leisure and recreation concept, founded in Finland in 2012, SuperPark Glasgow, the first in the UK, is located by the restaurant complex within the centre.

SuperPark operates 28 parks across the world, including in Finland, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.

Pitched as an ‘activity wonderland’ for all ages, including parents, who can actively participate alongside their children, SuperPark offers more than 30 interactive and inclusive activities inspired by football, gymnastics, dance and freestyle sports, among others. Everything at SuperPark is designed to get children and parents moving together in a fun and engaging way:

“The countdown is on as we build towards sharing this fully inclusive, multi-generational activity park with the people of Glasgow. It’s for children, teens, adults and for everyone of all backgrounds and abilities,” said Jonathan Doherty, managing director of SuperPark UK:

“We hear a lot nowadays on the need to remove children from their screens,” he added: “SuperPark is not about replacing technology, it’s about using it to enhance children’s experiences by making movement more interactive and motivating.

“There’s nothing passive whatsoever in SuperPark's offering,” he continued: “Parents and children move, play and succeed side by side. You use your own body, you laugh and you learn. The result is more than just fun: it supports physical well-being, social interaction and mental confidence through shared, active experiences.”

As a father living in Glasgow, Jonathan stressed how excited he was that SuperPark was coming to Braehead: “It’s fantastic that Braehead, so close to Glasgow, and within such a vibrant area, is the first in the UK to benefit from something that millions of families worldwide love.”

Jonathan, a hospitality entrepreneur, has a cafe, Scran + Roadie, situated at Saltmarket in Glasgow and will now open a second outlet at SuperPark Glasgow to cover the park’s food and drink offering:

“Too often, in-house cafes fall short of expectations at family attractions. Scran + Roadie will provide delicious, locally sourced food and drink for SuperPark clientele. It's a well-priced concept that Glaswegians are already familiar with,” he said.

Tickets for Superpark Glasgow are available on the website from 20 July.
