Dams to Darnley Country Park covers over 1350 acres of greenspace around the East Renfrewshire Council and Glasgow City Council boundary. The park encompasses the green belt separating Barrhead, Darnley and Newton Mearns. The country park aims to provide recreational activities for local residents and visitors through a network of paths for walking, cycling and horse riding.
The role of the countryside rangers is to promote the enjoyment, understanding and care of the country park through the provision of information, advice, events and activities. Through their work they also assist to manage the country park and secure the responsible behaviour of everyone visiting it.
