Castlemilk community sports hub reopens after £1.2m investment

Barlia Sports Complex in Castlemilk, Glasgow, Scotland has reopened following a £1.2m redevelopment project. The ageing centre was forced to close – alongside all other sports facilities – during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Following a decision not to re-open the facility after the pandemic, Castlemilk CommunityFootball Trust (CCFT) started the Save Our Pitch campaign and with the backing of the community, took control of the facility through Glasgow City Council’s People Make Glasgow Communities programme.

The total investment in the facility since then has been £1.2million with the pitches and floodlights.
