side room*

This smaller space is perfect for parties, smaller gatherings and groups meetings. It measures 13m x 4.8m and can be set up with hall furniture as you need. The space is really flexibile depending on what you need for a cosier get-together.

*Not currently available for hire.

Basement*

Our large basement area is great for a variety of activities and access directly onto the football pitch. It measures 14m x 5.8m and can be used for exercise groups, set up for meetings or a great space for a smaller party as it also has access to a small downstairs kitchen. 

*Not currently available for hire.

PolyCrub

Our newly-built polycrub is home to the Tong Growing Project. This project is currently being set up and run by our Development Officer, Iain Maciver. If you would like to join the group and have the chance to grow your skills (as well as some veg!) then drop Iain a message below.

Playpark

Our playpark is a place full of fun and a lot of noise! We added a lot of new equipment in 2021 and 2022 including a new pirate ship climbing frame. The space also offer swings for children of all ages, a roundabout, slide and small interactive games. We are also very lucky to have the work of our local children on display with two murals that were designed by children from Tong School.

Coming soon: Skatepark

We are working to build the first concrete skatepark in the Outer Hebrides in Summer 2023. The new skatepark is designed to assist beginners, allowing them to develop good basic skills before progressing in the sport. 

Access will be free and there is a plan in place to provide regular coaching sessions to engage young people, particularly women and girls, which is a huge growth area for the sport of skateboarding.
