The Peak Stirling

Stirling Sports Village at Forthside, is the biggest single development for sport and leisure in Stirling for over 30 years with an investment of £27.3 million funded by Stirling Council and sportscotland. The Peak is the indoor complex at the heart of the Stirling Sports Village, which already boasts third generation (3G) outdoor football, rugby and hockey pitches. The Peak – the indoor complex at the Sports Village, is managed and programmed by Active Stirling. This pioneering development was shaped by the Council’s vision for bringing a range of facilities together on one site where people of all ages and abilities can mix together and enjoy all kinds of sport. This major investment gives the people of Stirling facilities that are second to none across Forth Valley, improving health, developing self-confidence and enhancing overall quality of life. The Peak and the Sports Village have already played a major role in attracting international teams preparing for both the London Olympics and Glasgow Commonwealth Games. In addition the Peak helps support elite athletes and those with an aspiration to compete at a higher level. The complex is one of the most cost-effective of its kind in the UK. Great emphasis has been placed on sustainability and efficiency throughout the development. For example excess heat from the ice-making process is fed back to heat the 25m swimming pool.
