"We're very proud of the local authorities and other park managers, and particularly of the army of local volunteers who work all year round in rain of shine to make Scottish parks beautiful.
"Just like in our other campaigns such as Clean Up Scotland and Beautiful Scotland, great people make great places, and these awards are for them."
East Renfrewshire Council's Environment Convener, Councillor Vincent Waters, added: "It's wonderful news that Rouken Glen Park has yet again received a Green Flag.
"Each year thousands of visitors flock to Rouken Glen Park from all over the west of Scotland and beyond to enjoy its many attractions including its wide open spaces, walled garden, boating pond and waterfall."
Mr Waters continued: "Many annual events are held in the park such as our Highland Games and the brilliant Electric Glen event which attracted huge crowds back in February.
"We also have a cafe again at the pond side called The Boathouse and later this summer the refurbished pavilion will be open to the public."
