A new multi ‑ use sports pitch has officially opened at Southfields Park in Loughborough.

The Cruyff Court was developed in partnership by Charnwood Borough Council (CBC), Leicester City in the Community and the Johan Cruyff Foundation. The project has been funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), the Johan Cruyff Foundation and through Section 106 contributions.

The pitch is free to use during the park’s opening hours and has been installed with floodlights and safety cameras. The total cost of the project was £235,000 with the UKSPF providing £100,000 in funding.

Matt Bray, Senior Community Manager at Leicester City in the Community, said: “The court delivers an important space for people to play sport.”
