Placerigg Country Park

Palacerigg Country Park is situated on the southern outskits of Cumbernauld. The area covers over 40 hectares of what was once an upland farm and has been planted with thousands of native trees and shrubs. This environment provides a sanctuary for thriving populations of roe deer, badger, fox and hares as well as hawks and owls. The Children's Farm area houses pygmy goats, zebu, wallabies, ornamental fowl, pot bellied and middle white pigs. A children's favourite is the chipmunks scrambling at high speed all round their cage.
