Clune Park Church was a church in the town of Port Glasgow, Scotland. It was built in 1905 to serve the Clune Park Estate. [2] It was in use until 1997. Inverclyde Council had plans to regenerate the area, but the future of the church was uncertain for many years. [3] An application for demolition was submitted in 2024. [4] The church was a Category B listed building. [2] It will be demolished in April 2025 alongside the adjacent Clune Park Primary School. [5] On 3 May 2025, two workers were injured during its demolition. [6]
