£2.1m pitch project completed in East Riding

A new full-size 3G football pitch has opened at East Riding Leisure Centre in Haltemprice.

The £2.1m project was funded by a £975,000 grant from the Football Foundation and further contributions from East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

The project was delivered by a team of SAPCA members. Built by S&C Slatter, the 97m x 61m 3G community football pitch has a FieldTurf XM7 60-12 playing surface installed on a Trocellen 7012 pre-formed shockpad. The 3G system also features an EnviroStik seaming system and Genan SBR infill – completing the impressive line up of SAPCA members.

Other features include 4.5m sports fencing, perimeter acoustic fencing, spectator areas and LED floodlighting. The pitch meets both FIFA Quality and World Rugby Regulation 22 standards.
