Pinkston Watersports Centre

Pinkston Watersports Centre is a community paddlesports facility located at 75 North Canal Bank Street in Glasgow, just five minutes from the city centre, on the site of a former canal basin near the Molendinar Burn.

It is home to Scotland's only artificial whitewater course alongside a flat-water basin filled with bathing-quality water, making it a distinctive urban watersports destination.

The centre offers activities including kayaking, paddleboarding, and open-water swimming, catering to a range of abilities from beginners to experienced paddlers.

Meeting rooms, equipment storage, and facilities for resident clubs and groups are also available.

Operated by Glasgow Watersports Ltd, a registered Scottish charity, Pinkston functions as a social enterprise with a mission to increase participation in sport and improve community wellbeing.

It originated as an official legacy project of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
