£500,000 3G pitch for Broomfields Leisure Centre

A new 3G Artificial Grass Pitch has been installed at Broomfields Leisure Centre for community use. 

The new facility is the result of a long partnership between LiveWire and Warrington Borough Council to years to produce a playing pitch strategy for the town. Released in 2019, the strategy details the quality of pitches across the town and priorities for future development that was key to securing £358,000 of the £518,000 total project cost from The Football Foundation.

FIFA approved for competitive match play, the 3rd generation rubber crumb surface will allow competitive fixtures to take place on the pitch at weekends as well as the traditional weeknight training, allowing anchor partner Appleton AFC to play host to 5v5 through to 11 v 11 fixtures every weekend without being susceptible to the unpredictable British winter that sees huge numbers of wet weather cancellations during the season.

“Warrington has worked really hard to identify priorities and funding opportunities through the Playing Pitch Strategy, and we’re delighted this has supported not only this facility here at Broomfields Leisure Centre, but also recent new pitches in Birchwood and Lymm. Warrington Borough Council has directly invested £160,000 from the Capital Investment Programme to enable us to draw down the £358,000 awarded by the Football Foundation at create a facility to be really proud of here in South Warrington,” said Cllr Tony Higgins, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Community.
