Hey folks! Guess what? There’s a brand new football pitch in town, and it’s a game-changer for all you grassroots players out there. The amazing £500,000 pitch at Blackpool’s Stanley Park is now open for business, and it’s causing quite a buzz. So, what’s all the fuss about? Let me fill you in.
First things first, this pitch is top-notch. It’s been upgraded with all the latest facilities, including a state-of-the-art floodlit 3G surface. And let me tell you, it’s a sight to behold. The pitch is so good that it’s attracting more and more teams to the town. In fact, over 80 new teams have been formed recently, including women’s and girls’ teams. How awesome is that?
Now, let’s talk about the benefits of this incredible 3G pitch. First off, the drainage is on point. That means you can play on it all year round without worrying about getting muddy. And let’s face it, nobody likes playing in a mud bath. Plus, the underlay of the pitch is designed to absorb impact, so there’s less risk of injury when you take a tumble. Safety first, right?
But here’s the best part – the pitch looks and feels just like natural grass. It’s like playing on a professional football field. And the best part? It can handle intense usage without showing any signs of wear and tear. That means you can play your heart out without worrying about damaging the pitch. And the cherry on top? It requires low maintenance, so it can be used every single day. Talk about convenience!
Coun Jane Hugo, the cabinet member responsible for parks, is thrilled about the new pitch. She believes it will bring more families and sports enthusiasts to Stanley Park, which is already an award-winning park. But it’s not just about sports – it’s about creating opportunities for everyone in Blackpool to get outdoors and get active. Whether you’re young or old, a pro or a beginner, this pitch is for you.
And that’s not all. The park has seen other recent investments too. They’ve spent around £310,000 on a new athletics track, and £150,000 on refurbishing public tennis courts across Blackpool. So, there’s plenty of sporting action happening in the area.
But wait, there’s more! New sports pitches have also been provided at Common Edge Road, and the Revoe Sports Village on Central Drive is set to have a full-size 11-a-side artificial grass pitch and a five-a-side artificial grass pitch. It’s like a sports lover’s paradise!
So, if you’re a football fanatic or just looking to have some fun on the field, head over to Blackpool’s Stanley Park and check out the new football pitch. It’s a game-changer, and it’s waiting for you!
