Notes
Operated by Freedom Leisure. Identified by the local authority as a key site for 3G FTP provision for development as a football hub. Some improvement of grass pitches already undertaken since 2017. Proposed site for mitigation of two football pitches to be lost at the Porcelain Ground to development of new facilities for hockey.
Present plans are for the development of a covered surface with a National League size futsal court marked over the top of four recreational level futsal courts, complete with spectator viewing platform and new eight room changing provision which would service both new futsal and new and existing outdoor football provision.
Current facilities - six 11v11 pitch equivalents, 5v5 3G FTP x2, sports hall.
Current users - Worcester City Youth x9 teams, Rock Sports Youth, Oldbury Park Tigers, Worcester 6th Form College. Potential further use by futsal teams countywide and 3G for team training.
