Description:
The proposed Twechar Outdoor Pursuit Centre will be a canal side development situated to the south east of the Forth and Clyde Canal, approximately 3 miles east of Kirkintilloch Town Centre. Located at the entrance to Twechar, the Complex will be bounded by the Forth & Clyde Canal, grazing land and former Masonic Lodge.
Accommodation:
The current Twechar Place Plan identified the canal as one of the key attributes of the village and the vacant, canal side site as a priority for action to improve the northern entrance to Twechar and to provide new facilities and opportunities for community benefit.
The Council secured funding of £1.1 million to create an innovative community-run facility in Twechar. The canal side resource will offer a range of activities such as canoeing, kayaking, cycling and walking. It will also provide a base for new educational training and voluntary opportunities helping to promote regeneration in the area.
The facility will be fully accessible and benefit the Twechar community and wider residents of East Dunbartonshire, public and voluntary sector organisations as well as visitors to the area.
