The Reception Centre is located in Bantaskine Park in Falkirk; the Postcode is FK1 5PT. It’s location is shown on the map below; this can also be downloaded by right clicking here. It is reached by a tarred road, suitable for the mini buses, which leads from Gartcows Road up to and over the Canal and to a spacious car park.
The Centre was designed and built to incorporate all of our needs and it was opened in 1992. It has a lounge for our guests and two spacious toilets equipped for disabled people with sufficient space to allow for a changing table for the more seriously disabled of our guests. The Centre is on two levels - on the car park level there is an entrance foyer, the furnished lounge with full height windows overlooking the dockside where guests can relax before boarding one of the Seagull boats; it also has a fully equipped kitchen. From this level a stairway and hydraulically operated wheelchair lift lead down to the dockside where, by means of a gently sloping ramp, our guests can board the canal boat.
The Centre provides secure docking for one boat and has facilities for watering and refuelling the boats; the dockside also provides a warm and dry environment for maintenance of the canal boats during the winter season.
