Cumbernauld House Park, otherwise known as Cumbernauld Fields, is a great open space for people to play sports or just walk their dog. Legend has it that it is home to a tree planted by Mary Queen of Scots, and the area also features a tree made famous by the film Gregory’s Girl. The artist Emily Shepherd, working alongside Friends of Cumbernauld House Park, has chosen to represent Cumbernauld House - the building that dominates the park - and the rolling hills around it, including the HaHa.

Palacerigg Country Park is an exciting place to visit and learn more about nature and animals. It has a petting zoo, including rare breeds of farm animals, a tree top walk with great views for exploring and a plant shop run by Watch Us Grow. The artist Gabriella DiTano has made a series of wooden sculptures that represent these elements: a 'Scots Dumpy' chicken representing rare breeds, 'Wellie boots' to signify wild walks, and a 'Money tree' symbolising Watch Us Grow.
