Westminster ball courts get inclusive upgrade

Two of Westminster’s most tired ball courts – at Churchill Gardens Estate and Church Street – are getting a new lease of life this autumn, thanks to an ambitious refurbishment project led by Play Innovation.

Work began in mid-August and the sites will soon showcase Play Innovation’s signature family-inclusive games, including Street Snooker X, Corner Skills, and the vibrant Funky Hype Multi Goals. The games have been designed to get children, young people, and families moving together in fun, creative ways.

The upgrades also include the installation of a new playing surface, Matchplay 2 – a durable, synthetic sports surface by Playrite – new fencing, floodlighting and roof netting to ensure safe, year-round play.

Marco Boi, founder of Play Innovation, said: “We’ve worked closely with the team at Westminster and taken a holistic approach to the entire project. Each location will be activated with inclusive activity workshops with local charity SportWestminster to maximise the investment by our client.”
