Toryglen Regional Football Centre

The centre was built on old red blaes (gravel) playing fields used by Queen's Park Secondary School (closed 1994); some of the land may have been contaminated with toxic chromium waste from a local chemical works.

The main feature is a fully enclosed, international-sized artificial turf pitch engineered to the highest specifications available at the time.

[5] The indoor pitch includes a plastic/canvas dividing curtain which can be lowered and raised from the 18m-high ceiling, separating the area into halves or quarter sections suitable for Seven-a-side games.

A large proportion of the juvenile and amateur teams in the Glasgow and Rutherglen/Cambuslang areas who do not have a permanent home ground of their own now play their fixtures at the complex (including the revived Third Lanark)[7] due to the quality of the surface and the low chance of cancellation due to weather conditions (although the outdoor parks are susceptible to waterlogging in heavy rain).

[4] The outdoor pitches have hosted semi-finals of the Scottish Women's Cup,[10][11] while the final of the 2011 competition was staged indoors at the venue.
