A new £4.3m sports facility designed by East Ayrshire Council's (EAC) in-house architects, has been officially opened by Scotland national team manager Craig Levein in Stewarton.

Facilities at the new facility, which was built by Barr Construction, include a hall with sprung Granwood floor capable of accommodating sports such as badminton and basketball.

The centre also offers a Body Station Gym-branded conditioning suite with cv and resistance equipment, while a dance studio and FIFA 2*-accredited synthetic pitches also feature.

EAC leader Douglas Reid said: "With an ideal mix of both indoor and outdoor facilities, we have ensured that we can provide something for everyone, whatever their sporting interest."

Barr director Bill Campbell added: "The centre and pitches were handed over on time and I have no doubt they will be well used by local residents."
