A new community sports facility has been built by Robertson Construction in East Dunbartonshire.
A lease of the Kirkintilloch Community Sports Complex has been concluded with Kirkintilloch Community Sports Club – a Scottish registered charity which includes representatives from local sports organisations.
East Dunbartonshire Council has created the facility on a previously derelict brownfield site to the west of Park Burn.
The complex includes a full-size, artificial 3G sports pitch with floodlighting; main stand and VIP stand spectator seating; a pavilion building, including changing facilities, café space and toilets; and car parking, including electric car charging points and bike stands.
Councillor Gordan Low, leader of East Dunbartonshire Council, said, “Kirkintilloch Community Sports Club will work with local groups and schools and will let out the facility. It has also been agreed that 100 hours each year will be put aside for community benefit and council services will work alongside Kirkintilloch Community Sports Club to support this.”
The facility was built by Robertson through the Major Works Scotland & Construction Framework provided by SCAPE Scotland.
Andy McLinden, regional MD, Robertson Construction Central West, said, “This high-quality facility will now be enjoyed by the wider community through sport for all. Having spent considerable time in the community, transforming a brownfield site into an incredible sport complex, we know what it means to have this dedicated space to improve health and wellbeing. We share the delight of East Dunbartonshire Council that the complex has been let to a local community sports club.”
