Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility

The Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility is a public leisure centre that is located in the Ravenscraig area of Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. HistoryThe sports facility first came to attention when plans were being drawn up to form a new town on the site of the former Ravenscraig steelworks, which closed in 1992. The sports facility project was given the go-ahead on November 2008. Work on the new facility got underway in mid-2009. However, the project was at the centre of serious funding issues between different companies and councils, and thus delayed the beginning of construction by one year. The building has been fully completed and was opened to the public on 4 October 2010. Before opening, there was a 24-hour charity football event on 30 September 2010. On 16 February 2011, Provost Tom Curley officially opened the facility, and it was estimated that over 100, 000 people had used the facility for the first five months in operation.
