Training in Stranraer

One council centre, then pitches, courses and the loch.

The council's Ryan Centre on Fairhurst Road carries the indoor training: a 25 m pool with a leisure water area and flumes, the SHOKK gym with junior sessions, a separate fitness suite, a sports hall for badminton and table tennis, and a sauna and steam room. Around it the list leans to team sport and the water: Stranraer FC at Stair Park, Wigtownshire Rugby Football Club on the London Road playing fields opposite, Stranraer Golf Club, Green Valley Golf Academy and Stranraer Water Sports Association, with Envy Cheerleading for something different.

Stair Park also has BMX and skateboarding ramps and all-weather tennis and netball courts, a handy meeting point for a session outside. In 2019 the town hosted Skiffieworld, the coastal rowing world championships, with more than 50 clubs racing St Ayles skiffs. The station sits at the end of a branch of the Glasgow South Western Line, with ScotRail trains to Ayr.
