Meadowbank Sports Centre - Wall of Honour nominations

Overview

The search has begun for additional names to be added to the Wall of Honour at the Meadowbank Sports Centre.

When the new Meadowbank Sport Centre opened in 2022 a space within the atrium in the building was reserved to honour members of the public who made significant contributions to Meadowbank’s past and legacy as a sport venue and community facility.

Over 45 people were honoured in the original Wall of Honour, and included sporting heroes Chris Hoy, Lynsey Sharp, Allan Wells and Josh Kerr and sport coaches such as gymnastic coach Maggie Bissett and athletics coach Bill Walker.

It was always the intention to add to the Wall as the 50+ years of Meadowbank sporting legacy continues.
