Pathhead embraced about 143 acres, and Mr. Thomson parted with it to the City at the price (;{5^30, ooo) he had himself paid for the land. A slice of the ground, amounting to 53 acres, was dedicated for feuing purposes, 33 acres were set apart as a recreation ground, and the area retained for a public park did not exceed 57 acres. A plan for the laying out of the park was obtained from Sir Joseph Paxton. The acquisition of a park at that time well outside the City boundaries, and far removed fr...om the people even of the south side, was strongly resented and opposed. The park, it was true, was within a short distance of the Coplawhill property of the Corporation, and of the southern limits of the Hutchesons' IIos[)ital property ; but the southward extension of these grounds was still unoccupied. But when the Victoria Road, leading in a Y 338 MUNICIPAL GLASGOW straight line from Eglinton Street up to the main gate of the park, was formed, much of the ground around the park was quickly occupied with houses, and a community grew up between the municipal limits and the park purchased at the expense of the City.
