Pupil and staff at St Maurice’s High School in Cumbernauld are celebrating the opening of their brand-new multi-use sports facilities
The £500,000 project has replaced the old red blaes pitches at the rear of the school transformed into a stunning new area featuring a three court arena surrounded by a 200m five lane running track and a 70m sprint straight.
Two of the courts are for basketball, built to NBA specification size with adjustable height hoops. The other area will be for handball, hockey, and football.
A new grass football pitch is also included as part of the overall project.
Councillor Frank McNally, Convener of Education and Families, said: “This is a superb new resource for pupils and the wider community to benefit from. It’s part of our drive to provide excellent facilities and promote physical activity.
"It’s incredible to see how much the sports provision has been transformed, it looks superb and will bring so many benefits for the school and the area.”
