An angry mum has suggested the gates to a popular Glasgow park be locked after spotting locals skating and sliding on a frozen pond, just days on from four boys tragically losing their lives when they fell into a lake in Solihull.Roslyn Adams was walking through Queen's Park on her way to a nail appointment at around 12.30pm on Thursday, December 15, when she was "horrified" to see adults and children walking, running and skidding on the ice.The 35-year-old, from Thornliebank, said dog owners were chucking toys across the ice for their pets to fetch, a man was playing ice hockey, a woman was ice skating and a group of kids were even sitting in the middle of the pond eating out of a munchie box while on their lunch break from school.Other grown-ups were reportedly strolling across the ice with coffees and doughnuts bought from a nearby snack van.

Roslyn said she "couldn't believe her eyes", particularly after the devastating events down south, which saw four youngsters plunge into the freezing waters of Babbs Mill Lake in the West Midlands town on Sunday, December 11.The mum-of-one believes people are treating the popular spot in the city's Southside "like a Winter Wonderland" and is wanting the park gates to be locked during the cold spell to prevent another disaster from taking place.

Park gates are expected to be kept open due to the right to roam through a public space under the Land Reform Act.Roslyn told the Record: "I think the council should lock the gates to stop people strolling in and out of the park.

People are just strolling and skiting over the pond because there's nothing else to do. "I understand people take their dogs to the park for a walk and that they have a van on site with teas, coffees and donuts.
