Three brand-new, FIFA-quality synthetic sports pitches are now open in Cleland, Harthill and Moodiesburn, providing state-of-the-art facilities for local communities, schools and sports clubs to enjoy.
Each of the 3G all-weather pitches represents a £1.1 million investment, covering ground and drainage improvements, floodlight infrastructure, fencing, and the installation of FIFA-certified surfaces and shock pads. The result is a modern, safe and accessible space for football, fitness and community activities, come rain or shine.
Located at Grey Street (Cleland), Dunn Terrace (Harthill) and Gartferry Road (Moodiesburn), the pitches are designed to encourage sporting activities for all ages, with availability for public use when not booked by local schools or teams.
Councillor Louise Roarty, Depute Leader of the council, explained “These new pitches are about more than just sport, they’re about creating opportunities for young people to be active, for local clubs to grow, and for communities to come together in a safe, welcoming environment.
“By investing in high-quality facilities like these, we’re supporting the health, wellbeing and happiness of residents across our communities. We’re excited to see the enjoyment, teamwork and lasting memories these spaces will bring for years to come.”
David Taylor, Chairperson for Yett Farm FC added: “Having already used the new facility in Cleland, our club can confirm it’s a first-class facility.
“We hope that we can continue our ongoing partnership with the council and be considered for regular use of the facility. With us being a local team and having this facility on our doorstep makes a huge difference.”
