In recent years there have been several incidents of flooding around Conan Avenue in Bearsden. The area at the north east end of Colquhoun Park (between Conan Avenue and Station Road) has recently been developed into a wetland area to absorb flood water, and at the same time creating a good wildlife habitat. The area is currently fenced off to allow the vegetation to become established.
