Craigswood Athletics Facilities Upgrade

 16 April 2011

Work has restarted on West Lothian Council's £300,000 upgrade of the athletics facilities at Craigswood Sports Centre.

The redevelopment 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.
