Artificial Sportsfield Surfaces
We're working to improve sporting facilities. We've created some artificial sportsfields and more are planned.

Partnership sportsfield project
St Patrick's College sportsfield
In February 2012 the Council agreed to pay half the cost of a new turf at St Patrick's College in Kilbirnie.
The proposed new all-weather sportsfield is a partnership project between the Council and St Patrick's, with the Council paying 50 percent of the total cost up to a maximum of $800,000.
Construction of the sportsfield started in early January 2013, and is expected to be completed in April 2013.
