SuperPark Glasgow has been officially launched at Braehead, ahead of the indoor activity park opening to the public on Thursday 27th August.
Harry Nimmo, Honorary Consul of Finland to the UK, cut the ribbon at a ceremony on Friday 21st August 2026.
The new 30,000 sq ft park is the first SuperPark to open in the UK and the 29th operated by SuperPark United around the world.
Local families, community groups, media representatives and other guests attended the launch alongside Jonathan Doherty, Managing Director of SuperPark Glasgow, and SuperPark United founder Juha Tanskanen, who travelled from Finland.
The indoor park has more than 30 activities inspired by football, gymnastics, dance and freestyle sports. It is aimed at children aged three and over, with parents also able to take part.
Harry Nimmo said: “SuperPark is fantastic, it’s all about living life to the fullest, and it’s going to bring so much joy to Glasgow.
“As the UK Consul to Finland, I am involved with many Finnish companies who are already running businesses here in the UK. We welcome SuperPark, in what will be the start of a long and happy relationship, I am sure.”
Juha Tanskanen said: “I am beyond pleased to see SuperPark open in Glasgow, and become the 29th Park in the portfolio. Our concept has a great deal to commend it , not least that community is at the heart of all we do, and encouraging children to move is also at the heart of all we do. Any child, even if they don’t consider themselves to be particularly sporty, will find their own way of moving with joy here, as will their parents.”
Jonathan Doherty said: “Our heartfelt thanks go to Mr Harry Nimmo, Honorary Consul of Finland, for making the time in his very busy schedule to open this incredible new family attraction. It’s a huge honour for Glasgow to be the first in the UK to benefit from a SuperPark, a concept which sees sport, movement and family time come together.
“We have also really appreciated Juha, our founder, coming in person to give the park his special seal of approval. Finland is the world’s official happiest country, and now some Finnish joy and positivity has come to Scotland.”
He added: “Millions of people across the world love the SuperPark way of moving and playing together. Using their own bodies, they laugh, they learn and they play together. The result is more than just fun, it supports physical well-being, social interaction and mental confidence. We can’t wait for families from all over Scotland to enjoy the SuperPark experience. We are confident that children will gain a greater understanding of what their bodies can do!”
Guests at the launch were given a tour of the park’s three zones and were able to try some of the activities.
Food and drinks were also available from Scran+ Roadie, which has opened a second outlet inside SuperPark.
Scott Smith, from Hamilton, is General Manager of SuperPark Glasgow.
He said: “It’s been our pleasure today to give the children that came along with their parents an amazing early preview of what SuperPark Glasgow has to offer. They’ve tried out lots of different games and pieces of equipment, already choosing some of their favourite activities.”
SuperPark Glasgow is beside the restaurant complex at Frasers Plus Braehead and can be accessed from the ground and first floors, with lift access available.
Opening hours will be from 12 noon until 8pm on weekdays and from 9am until 9pm at weekends.
