Town Centre Park [Universal Connections]

The bunker-like partner to the Dollan baths, a stone throw away from the town centre, next to the skate park, this is a grade C listed youth centre designed by Alexander Buchanan Campbell, who designed the baths too.

It’s hard to see much of interest beyond the impressive concrete parapet, but the summary from Historic Scotland describes it as an important example of post-war architecture, with a plan of interlocking geometric shapes (a semi-circular kitchen, a rectangular gym hall and a triangular ramp runway), and distinctive detailing, such as the shuttered concrete window and door lintels.
