Work on the exciting new Huntershill Community Sports Hub will soon enter the final straight - creating a multi-sports facility for people of all ages.
A new full-size, all-weather 3G sports pitch has been created with floodlighting and fencing.
In addition, a sports pavilion building - including 10 changing rooms, multi-use hall, small meeting room and more - is nearing completion.
Instead of a crumbling blaes running track, the hub will offer an IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) compliant six-lane track - a first for East Dunbartonshire.
It also includes a fully-resurfaced, all-weather 3G football pitch, three new floodlit, all-weather tennis courts, and new access and parking.
East Dunbartonshire Council is developing the Bishopbriggs facility, in partnership with the Leisure and Culture (EDLC) Trust. Work is being carried out by Robertson.
A total of £7.8million is being invested in Huntershill Community Sports Hub - which is due to open at the end of April.
In addition to capital funding from the Council - and EDLC Trust - sportscotland has contributed £500,000.
Councillor Alan Moir, Convener of Development and Regeneration, said, "This will be a Council-owned facility - managed by the Trust - which will provide first-class sporting facilities to a range of local clubs, individuals and organisations.
"I'm delighted to see the progress which has been made. The full-size, all-weather pitch has been laid and is a first for this authority - not only is it FIFA-accredited for football, it can be used for contact rugby as well.
"In addition, we're creating hard-standing areas for spectators. It's a far cry from the facilities which were available before - three grass pitches and a blaes athletics track which had become unfit for purpose.
"The community sports hub will allow more games to be played by more teams - increasing access, encouraging participation and inspiring people to become more active.
"I am looking forward to seeing Huntershill Community Sports Hub when it is up and running at the end of April."
Work has taken place with Scottish Athletics, Tennis Scotland, local football clubs, athletics groups and rugby clubs on the new facility, which will encourage sporting activity in the community, as well as enhancing facilities for local performance and club-level athletes.
More information relating to booking procedures will follow in due course.
- In addition to support from sportscotland, funding is coming from the Council's capital programme - which is funded differently and completely separate from the revenue budget, which pays for day-to-day services and is under significant pressure.
- The Huntershill development is being delivered using Scape - a local authority-controlled framework which is pre-procured - increasing reliability, efficiency and savings.
