en.Wedoany.com Reported - A £1.1 million dedicated community facility has officially broken ground in Dalmarnock, Glasgow's East End, replacing outdated temporary buildings to support local children, young people, and families.

Representatives from partners including Clyde Gateway, Baltic Street Adventure Playground, the Scottish Government, and Fleming Construction attended the groundbreaking ceremony, with Glasgow City Councillor Richard Bell officially cutting the first sod.

For over a decade, Baltic Street Adventure Playground has provided a safe space for children to play and learn, while supporting parents through food provision, community activities, and family support programmes. The organisation emerged from the legacy of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, aiming to ensure long-term benefits for the local community.

Thanks to investment from the Scottish Government's Regeneration Capital Grant Fund and Clyde Gateway, the charity will gain a permanent base, matching its scale with its community impact. The new facility will include indoor and covered community spaces, a larger food hub, upgraded kitchen facilities for cooking and skills classes, additional storage, and modern office areas for staff and volunteers, also suitable for children's activities and play sessions.

Niki Spence, Sustainable Communities Lead at Clyde Gateway, stated that this project is far more than a building; it is an investment in children, families, and the future of Dalmarnock. She noted that the playground has tangibly changed local residents' lives for over a decade, and the new facility will provide the space and resources for the organisation to continue its success and transform lives. The project is expected to be completed in early 2027.
