Five Falkirk pavilions share £2m in bid to improve sports facilities in area

Five pavilions in Falkirk are to share £2m of funding in a bid to create new and improved sports facilities across the Falkirk area.

The units will be installed at Anderson Park, Bonnybridge, Glen Park, Hallglen, Tyggetshaugh/Herbertshire Park, Dunipace, Russell Park, Stenhousemuir and Stirling Road, Camelon by the end of this year.

They'll all have home and away changing facilities with WC, showers and a match officials changing room.

The new units will replace existing structures that are up to 30 years old and will arrive on site ready for use immediately after utilities are installed.

The work on the five units is expected to cost around £800k and will include other environmental work surrounding the units.

A further three sites will also be fully refurbished with roofs replaced, external walls refinished, new electrical and plumbing installations including WCs and showers, new floor finishes and full redecoration.

Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn, Leader of Falkirk Council said: "The replacement and upgrading of these facilities represents a big investment for local communities in well-used locations.

"It means that clubs, teams and individuals can all use modern facilities to enjoy their sports and leisure activities and hopefully encourage more to join in.

"Additionally, further work is being carried out to continue this refurbishment programme to all Falkirk Council pavilions across the area."
