Recreation
The council maintained grassed recreational field at the West End of Armour Drive and Golf Avenue was replaced with additional housing in the 90s. The new street was named McGeoch Drive. This leaves 2 grassed recreational fields; one at Doon Terrace that has suffered historically with poor drainage and one at Ballochmyle Terrace. A recent construction nas been a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) on the grass at Ballochmyle Terrace.
The Community Centre located in Ballochmyle Terrace is also a major source of recreation for a number of residents in the area, mainly young people. This includes hosting "The Base" Youth group for young people ages 12-16 and the junior youth group for ages 5-11.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
