The Council is redeveloping the current Bearsden site to include a new sports and leisure complex as well as a support centre for adults with learning disabilities.

The project is being carried out in phases, with the first - construction of the new Allander Leisure Centre - on track for completion this autumn. Facilities will include an eight-lane swimming pool and a 20m training pool with movable floor, sauna and steam vitality room, hydrotherapy pool, gym and high & low intensity studios, group cycling studio, eight-court games hall, two squash courts, wet and dry changing facilities and a café.

There will also be a new support facility created for adults with learning disabilities, which will replace Kelvinbank Resource Centre in Kirkintilloch.

Phase two involves the decommission and demolition of the existing leisure centre, which will temporarily reduce car parking capacity.

Phase three is the construction of a new 'Sportsdrome' - including two football pitches and a tennis court - and final car park works.

The combined social and economic value to the area from the Allander project is £4,462,510.

McLaughlin & Harvey is the main contractor for the project. The main centre is due to open in autumn 2022, with the final project forecast to be completed by summer 2023.
