Works are under way in Knoll Park to install recycled surfacing and fencing previously installed at the Moulsecoomb Hub MUGA, which was removed to make way for a major new housing and hub development, which includes new sports facilities.
Councillor Alan Robins, Cabinet Member for Sport, Recreation and Libraries, said: "Parks officers were aware that the Knoll Park MUGA playing surface had been deteriorating for some time, and that it was reaching the end of its useful life.
"They had also noticed some of the steel fencing needed replacing, so are repurposing some of the Moulsecoomb fencing panels for Knoll too.
"I’m delighted our sports development and parks teams spotted a further opportunity to work together to recycle good-as-new surfacing materials to provide a perfect and sustainable solution for Knoll Park."
A similar approach was successfully used earlier this year at Hangleton Park, where another MUGA was refurbished using materials from Moulsecoomb’s facility.
