Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA)

If you're looking for a versatile court that allows you to play a wide range of sports, our MUGA is the ideal choice. Located between the community centre and primary school it is currently used by WVPS, the GP Youth Club and local football clubs, by adults, children and teen age groups.

It has a flexible surface and is a full court size enclosed by a fenced area with built in goal posts and nets making it easier to keep the ball in play for various types of sports, such as football, basketball or tennis. There is evidence that Multi-Use Games Areas reduce anti social behaviour and increase fitness.
