🌿 Nordic Walking at Barshaw Park
Join us every Thursday at 10am for a refreshing Nordic Walk through Barshaw Park and neighbouring green spaces. It’s a great way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and meet new people.

Poles are provided, and all fitness levels are welcome. Just remember to dress in warm layers, wear sturdy waterproof footwear, and bring gloves.

After the walk, enjoy a hot drink and biscuits in good company. Sessions are free, though a small donation to Friends of Barshaw Park is always appreciated. Donations can be made in-person or online here.

A weekly get together to walk around the park, use the outdoor gym and have a gentle work out! Then a cuppa afterwards in the Community Garden.

We start and finish at the Community Garden (opposite the Peace Garden), and after the session you’re welcome to stay for a cuppa and a chat. It’s a great way to boost your fitness and connect with others in the community.

Since 1972, the Paisley Society of Model Engineers has been based in Barshaw Park, where members maintain and operate a 1,300ft miniature railway track. The track caters for 3½, 5, and 7¼ inch gauge locomotives, and the highlight for many visitors is the chance to enjoy train rides through the park. 🚂

While the railway is the most visible part of what the society does, members share a wide range of engineering interests and projects. PSME’s mission is to provide a space for enthusiasts to meet, share skills, and inspire others to discover model engineering as a rewarding hobby.

👨‍🔧 Get involved:
Visitors are welcome to come along on summer afternoons to see the trains in action!
Club members usually meet on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, a great time to drop by, chat with the team, and learn more about getting involved.
