Glasgow Life Sport football pitches to receive £850,000 refresh

Glasgow Life Sport football facilities will be refreshed as part of an £850,000, city-wide refurbishment programme.

The work will see several five-a-side and full-size pitches resurfaced at Glasgow Club Scotstoun, the Emirates Arena, Glasgow Green Football Centre, Toryglen Regional Football Centre and Glasgow Club Crownpoint between February and August 2025.

The revamps are part of our Synthetic Surfaces Refresh Programme 2024-26 and include new goals and nets at four of the five venues.

Glasgow Life will become Scotland's first third sector organisation to use a biodegradable corn infill on football pitches as an environmentally sustainable alternative to third generation (3G) rubber crumb.

The corn infill will be trialled on two five-a-side courts at Glasgow Green Football Centre, with work due to begin this month (February).
