Council chiefs are to work with Police Scotland to restrict access to Strathclyde Park after visitors flocked there despite social distancing measures in place amid the coronavirus crisis.
North Lanarkshire Council said it will seek Police assistance to ensure there is no repeat of what happened at the weekend at the park near Motherwell.
Video footage showed rows of cars lined bumper to bumper along the entrance to the park, leaving the author of the video "speechless".
The local authority took to social media in the wake of the concern about the vast amount of people using the park despite the lockdown restrictions across the country.
They said: "We had already closed car parks, but we'll be ensuring vehicles can't access the park like this again, working with Police Scotland.
"Please be responsible. Driving to the park to exercise is against govt guidance and not responsible. Stay Home".
While Paul Kelly, Depute Leader of North Lanarkshire Council, said on Twitter: "Thank you to everyone who contacted me regarding use of Strathclyde Park over the weekend by cars.
"This is a worrying situation as we all know the clear advice from the Government to stay home & exercise safely & sensibly. I have urgently raised this situation with the Council".
