The opening was the culmination of years of planning and hard work by the team of volunteers who wanted to provide the area with a hub which could be accessible for all in the community.
As well as a ribbon cutting ceremony, there was a chance for the 250 people who turned out to tour the facilities, try their hand at some cricket and archer, and enjoy the fun activities, plus a barbecue that was on offer.
This is the first phase of the project and the team behind Bailliefields Community Hub will now turn their attentions to the second phase with the construction of a community hall planned.
