SUPERPARK GLASGOW IS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!
Ribbon is cut at UK's first SuperPark at Braehead Renfrewshire which is now open
In a special VIP ceremony, Harry Nimmo, the Honorary Consul of Finland to the UK, cut a ribbon to officially open SuperPark Glasgow.
Joining him in the celebrations were local families, dignitaries, media representatives and community groups, together with Jonathan Doherty, Managing Director of SuperPark Glasgow, and Superpark United Founder, Juha Tanskanen, who flew in from Finland to attend what is the first SuperPark opening in the UK.
The new 30,000 ft² multi activity, multi -generational, indoor park, packed with body powered games, is already going down well with the public. It becomes SuperPark United’s 29th park across the globe. The indoor leisure and recreation concept, founded in Finland in 2012, has parks stretching from Finland, to the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
Commenting on the opening of SuperPark Glasgow, an “activity wonderland” for children aged 3 years plus, including their parents, who can actively join in the games and activities alongside their children, Honorary Consul of Finland, 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 added his comments: “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 don’t consider themselves to be particularly sporty, will find their own way of moving with joy here, as will their parents.”
Jonathan Doherty, Managing Director of SuperPark Glasgow, took the opportunity, on behalf of his team at SuperPark Glasgow, to thank both Harry Nimmo and Juha Tanskanen, for coming to Glasgow to officially launch the new Scottish park.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
