New-look 3G pitch opens at Killamarsh Active

Footballers can now take their game to the next level, following the re-opening of the upgraded 3G pitch at Killamarsh Active.

The pitch has been transformed following £125,148 of capital funding from North East Derbyshire District Council, supported by a £25,000 grant from the Premier League, The Football Association and Government’s Football Foundation.

The newly resurfaced area, which utilises the latest in Lano Surfacing artificial turf, means it now meets FA performance standards, bookings available include 3v3, 5v5 and 7v7 footbal

Councillor Kathy Rouse, North East Derbyshire District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Health and Leisure, said: “This is fantastic news for all the clubs, schools, community groups and individuals who value having a high-quality pitch to play on.

“It also demonstrates our commitment to investing in our leisure facilities for the benefit of all our residents.”

Robert Sullivan, Chief Executive of the Football Foundation, said: “The Football Foundation is working closely with our partners – the Premier League, The FA and Government – to transform the quality of grassroots facilities in England by delivering projects like this across the country.

“Good quality playing facilities have a transformative impact on physical and mental health and play an important role in bringing people together and strengthening local communities.

“We’re delighted that the local community in North East Derbyshire will now be able to enjoy all these benefits thanks to the upgraded facilities at Killamarsh Active.”

We currently have spaces available for weekend fixtures, if any clubs are interested in booking a slot.

Community Activity Day Success!

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Community Activity Day at Killamarsh Active at the weekend.

It was great to see so many families enjoying themselves – and the weather behaved too!

Highlights included the talented pro BMX and scooter riders, who wowed onlookers with their breathtaking displays.

Visitors also had the chance to chat with the emergency services, including Mountain Rescue, climb aboard a fire engine and try out what it feels like to be put in handcuffs in the back of a police van!

Our Community Safety Team was also in attendance to give advice and hand out freebies.

A number of sporting games and activities also took place in the centre itself, including football, netball, Pickleball, kickboxing and lots more!
