Established around 1920 on the site of an old quarry. The park was renamed McAnulty Park in 2007 in honour of 'Andra' McAnulty a pioneer of the Lanarkshire Miners' Union. By then, the park had lost many of the old amenities and attractions such as the boating pond, paddling pool, putting green, floral clock and the bandstand.
