Convener for Community Services and Community Safety, Councillor Mary Montague, said: "This is a first-class resource not only for the pupils of Eastwood High but for the whole community.
"The new facilities are state-of-the-art and I would encourage local residents to come and try them out for themselves.
"It is great, too, to see some of the existing sports facilities, such as the swimming pool, upgraded to such a high standard. Together they create an excellent sports centre for the people of East Renfrewshire."
