About Us
Pinkston Watersports is home to Scotland’s only artificial whitewater course; a community paddlesports center with a clean water basin and the ideal place to participate in a range of water-based activities just 5 minutes from Glasgow City Centre.
As a charity and social enterprise, Pinkston uses a range of approaches to meet our charitable objectives of increasing participation in sport, providing recreational facilities, and organizing activities as a way of improving and promoting wellbeing, quality of life, and education.
As a visitor to Pinkston, you can book onto one of our own activities – which include everything from cold water swimming to whitewater tubing – with plenty of canoeing and kayaking in between. Alternatively, there are a number of clubs that use the site on a regular basis that provide an excellent way to meet new people in the sport.
