East Dunbartonshire Leisure & Culture manage a number of 5, 7 and 11 A-Side Football Pitches which are available to book on a casual basis as well as a serial let.

We offer outstanding 5 a-side football facilities at each of our three leisure centres. Each centre offers 3G synthetic playing surfaces, which play like real grass. Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre and the Leisuredrome both offer four outdoor pitches and the Allander Leisure Centre has three indoor pitches.

Also included within our parks and open spaces are 31 sports pitches, which include 3G 11 A-Side Synthetic Pitches at Huntershill Outdoor Centre, Bishopbriggs and Merkland Outdoor Centre, Kirkintilloch.

The pitches can be played on all year round with block booking opportunities also available so that you can secure your regular game or training.
