The bid, submitted by Glasgow Life, asked for the area to be officially recognised and managed as part of James Lindsay Memorial Park.
It comes alongside separate plans for a long-awaited new community hub with a library and gym on neighbouring land at the north-east corner of the park.
That project, backed by more than £15 million of funding secured from housing developers building in the area, is still being considered by planners.
According to the decision notice, the park project will proceed in line with the approved location and site plans submitted to the council in January, with any further details to be agreed in writing with planning officers as required
Residents in Baillieston will now be watching to see when work begins on the park upgrade – and whether it can be delivered in tandem with the proposed community hub to create a larger cluster of new facilities for the area.
