π±β½ PROJECT COMPLETE: Caldicot Leisure Centre
π All eyes on the first of its kind in Wales!
We're super proud to have worked alongside Sports Labs to deliver another successful project funded by Cymru Football Foundation, Sport Wales and Monmouthshire County Council that is now officially open.
The centrepiece of the redevelopment is a brand-new 3G pitch featuring Wales' first organic cork, biodegradable infill system. Replacing the previous 2G surface, this innovative solution offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional rubber infill while providing a durable, high-quality playing environment for year-round sport and physical activity.
Working in collaboration with Floodlighting and Electrical, who delivered the new floodlighting installation, the project has transformed the facility into a modern community asset that can be enjoyed throughout the day and into the evening.
The project scope included:
β
New FIFA-standard 3G playing surface
β
Organic cork, biodegradable infill system
β
New floodlighting installation
β
Enhanced year-round community sports provision
π€ This project truly embodied the "Together Stronger" spirit. πͺ A fantastic example of what can be achieved through partnership, innovation and investment in grassroots sport. We look forward to seeing the facility support schools, clubs and the wider community for many years to come.
