Fairways Sportsgrounds has completed the initial phase of reconstructing five bowling greens at Kelvingrove to world class standards. The project, on behalf of Glasgow City Council, will form part of the facilities for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
 
 
The task included installing a new drainage system and reconstructing the greens and ditches, which will now be watered with a new automated irrigation system. A new network of pathways was also created. The job has  been successfully handed over to Glasgow City Council with Fairways Sportsgrounds' specialist greenkeeper, Neil Plenderleith, remaining on site and tending the newly laid turf on a daily basis.
 
Members from the World Lawn Bowls International Federation visited Kelvingrove at the end of September and expressed their delight at the preparation already gone into the West End venue
 
Kenny Clark, World Bowls Technical Delegate for Glasgow 2014 said: 'Advance planning is a crucial element to staging a successful Lawn Bowls competition at any level and therefore it's incredibly important for us to see the progress at Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre in regards to the Organising Committee and its planning for the Commonwealth Games.
 
'The organisers of Glasgow 2014 have made a positive start in their preparations to ensure we have a quality playing surface to match this outstanding picturesque venue in just under three years' time and I have every confidence that this will continue right up until the Games.'
 
Gary Smith, World Bowls Chief Executive said: 'It's been fantastic to see first hand the level of preparation and work that's gone into the greens already, which is a credit to the Organising Committee and its Games' Partners.
 
'Bowls is a truly international sport and World bowls is based here in Scotland. With this in mind, seeing how advanced Glasgow 2014 is in their planning and preparation, we are confident Glasgow 2014 will stage the best Lawn Bowls competition the Commonwealth has ever seen.'
