New Craigswood Track Open!

 10 May 2011

The running track at Craigswood Sports Centre has now reopened after the completion of West Lothian Council's redevelopment project and will be available for training tomorrow night, so remember to bring your spikes!

The field event facilities are not open yet. The throwing cage will be installed on 18th May, and after that the field areas will be inspected before the venue is fully certified.

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 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.
Additionally, the extension to the sports building that was completed last year will provide a viewing balcony for the track and new store rooms for equipment.
