Work commenced today on West Lothian Council's £300,000 upgrade of the athletics facilities at Craigswood Sports Centre!

The redevelopment is estimated to take 8 weeks to complete and includes:

• New athletics track surface, including all runways, in dark blue with refurbished drainage, kerbing and gulleys.
• Upgraded lighting system including new columns at track bends.
• Long Jump/Triple Jump - two new pits, with new sand, at both ends of runway, new boards and metal wheel away pit covers.
• Throws - new full spec hammer/discus cage with 11m gates and refurbished shot circle.
• High Jump - new high jump mats and stands.
• Four rows of concrete spectator seating between pavilion and new sports centre building.
• New judges stand at finish line.
• Improved disabled access to track and in-field areas.

Training will continue as normal on Wednesday nights throughout the redevelopment period using the sports hall and grass pitches to the east of the sports centre.
