Tthe railway arrived in 1848 and commuting between Stirling and Glasgow took less than an hour. Glasgow businessmen came to live in the healthier environment of Stirling and would commute to work, rather than live in the pollution of the big city. Beautiful, grand houses were built in the Kings Park area which became very fashionable and the Park began to be laid out as it is today.
The park has more recently been used for many public events and the fairgroung and circus are common happenings in the park.
