East Renfrewshire Council has said its new sports centre will open later this month.

Eastwood High Sports Centre will have state-of-the-art facilities which the community will be able to use and replaces the old Eastwood High School Games Hall.

The new facility will open on Monday 24 June.

The project, which cost £28.9m, saw both the sports centre and the school completely rebuilt.

While the sports centre opens shortly, the new school will welcome pupils from August.

Both buildings are located on the existing Eastwood High site in Capelrig Road.
