1st day of the summer holidays and this big new expensive sports facility is…eh, locked. Shocking that a huge chunk of the park was taken to build this facility which is left locked with no access for kids. The loss and inaccessibility of the “third space” is shocking. What are kids supposed to do for fun when they can’t access these types of spaces. So much for a legacy of sport a decade on from the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. I spoke to two wee girls who were inside and asked if there was an open gate. They giggled and told me how they got in (which I won’t type out so the council aren’t temped to ruin their fun and access). I spotted around 8 other kids wandering around looking to get in with no luck. Such a shame to see kids without access to these expensive facilities which I bet were built with the intention of encouraging young people into sport.
