At almost 20 sq km the Seven Lochs Wetland Park will be Scotlandʼs largest urban nature park, and a major new destination for outdoor recreation. The Glasgow Institute of Architects (GIA) in association with Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership (GCVGNP) and Central Scotland Green Network (CSGN) are pleased to invite entries from design professionals and students to produce concept design proposals to connect two key sites within the Seven Lochs Wetland Park, a major new destination for outdoor recreation expected to attract over one million visitors per year.
Submissions are expected to provide a concept design strategy which connects the areas of wetland and woodland habitat as well as the communities which are divided by the M73 corridor.
The site of Drumpellier Country Park to the west of Coatbridge has been identified as a significant gateway to the Seven Lochs Wetland Park but it has been recognised that visitors are discouraged from exploring nearby sites such as Commonhead Moss because of poor access across the M73 motorway.
