Woodfarm

Woodfarm

Woodfarm is a residential district within East Renfrewshire, Scotland, located roughly 6 miles to the south of Glasgow. The area is sandwiched between the suburbs of Thornliebank and Giffnock, and lies next to Rouken Glen Park, which is regarded as one of the best parks in the Greater Glasgow area. The housing is a mix of (mostly formerly) council-owned property, ex Army-owned houses, older bungalows and villas, and newer flats and family homes built within the last twenty years.

Woodfarm is served by the nearby Robslee, Thornliebank, and Our Lady of the Missions primary schools, as well as Woodfarm High School and St Ninian's High School. Like most schools in East Renfrewshire, they consistently perform well academically, and competition for placements from pupils outwith the catchment area is normally high.

Woodfarm Playing Fields sports complex was completed in 2004. The development features a full-sized football pitch, three five-a-side football pitches (that can also be used as tennis courts), and a clubhouse with changing rooms. Woodfarm High School, opposite the complex, has use of the pitches on weekdays for physical education classes, while the public has access to the leisure facilities on evenings and weekends.

The district is served by regular bus services to Glasgow city centre (services 38 and 38a), as well as other areas of the south side and East Renfrewshire.
