Greater Pollok is a residential ward in the southwest of Glasgow, characterised by extensive post-war housing. The area is primarily made up of schemes like South Nitshill, Househillwood, and the neighbourhood of Pollok itself, featuring a mix of terraced, semi-detached, and multi-storey flats. Its layout includes numerous green spaces and recreational grounds, with the Levern Water flowing through its southern parts.
The ward is anchored by the Silverburn Centre, a large retail and leisure complex that serves as a community hub. The area is directly adjacent to the expansive Pollok Country Park, which provides extensive woodlands and gardens. Public amenities include several local libraries and community centres focused on social services and youth programmes.
