Football field.

Coronation Park, to give this field its full title, was opened in May 1954 with a match between Inverness Clachnucuddin and a select from Inverness Caledonian, Inverness Thistle and Ross County. It drew a crown of about 3000 and a flag was presented to the club by Robert Patience. It is still very much used and must be the envy of many bigger communities.

Harbour area.

This ‘reclaimed’ area alongside the harbour was seeded with grass in 2001 and should provide an attractive recreational area for locals and tourists alike.
