East Kilbride Community Trust is pleased to confirm that at today’s (9th June 2026) meeting of South Lanarkshire Council’s Planning Committee, full planning permission was granted for constructing a Community Football Spaces Building at the KPark Training Academy.
The proposed new building will provide much needed indoor, warm, spaces and facilities for our young grassroots football players, alongside a wide range of non-football community activities, for all age groups.
Over the coming months, EKCT Trustees will work with its Project Architect, https://t.co/IKUQKorsxO, to finalise design detail and anticipated build period. Progress updates will be provided in due course.
EKCT thanks South Lanarkshire Council and its elected members for supporting EKCT Trustees’ vision for the new Community Building at KPark, as it takes forward its own wider Masterplan Upgrade Plan for the country park.
Says a lot about modern football when 45 minutes of Largs Thistle and Auchinleck Talbot has been more entertaining than 120 minutes of the Champions League final last night.
Two teams going for it and not holding back. A proper fitbaw game.⚽️
We're now in the process of planning for the League 1, any @officialEKFC supporters who wish to travel with the group on away days can register their interest by commenting on this post or by DM 🇧🇧
