Meanwhile, Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls and Tennis Centre will be shut between October 31 and November 2.
The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) will keep its doors closed between October 31 and November 14, and the People’s Palace will remain closed in the lead up to and during COP26 for essential maintenance.
In a statement online, Glasgow Life says all dates are inclusive and subject to change as requirements around COP26 and the security operation for the event continue to evolve.
It went on to say: "While COP26 will inevitably impact on city operations and business continuity during the event, it is our intention across the wider venues they have reopened to minimise disruption and operate business as usual as far as possible."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
