Delivered by Smith Construction
Projects of this scale demand more than construction expertise alone, they require careful planning, technical excellence, strong leadership and seamless collaboration at every stage.
At Smith Construction, our strength lies in successfully managing complex sports infrastructure projects through an experienced in-house team, backed by a trusted network of specialist partners. This £9 million development showcases that capability. From initial site preparation to final handover, we led delivery of a professional-grade 400-metre athletics track, a natural grass infield pitch, the UK's first outdoor "Get Active" adventure trail, four covered padel courts, and a new car park facility.
Our team coordinated extensive civil engineering works, design, drainage, retaining infrastructure, earthworks, landscaping, sports facility construction, project management and health and safety compliance, ensuring a high-quality facility that will serve the community for years to come.
While projects like this rely on collaboration across the wider team, it was the commitment of our own project managers, site managers, engineers, groundworks teams, specialist installers and office-based staff who were instrumental in bringing this vision to life, to the highest of standards.
With decades of experience delivering sports, education and civil engineering projects across the UK, Smith Construction has built a reputation for quality, reliability and technical excellence. This development reflects not just what was built, but the team behind it, a showcase of the professionalism, dedication and craftsmanship that define our business.
This project also holds special significance: It marks the final project of our long-serving Engineer, Tim Phipps, who sadly passed away late December 2025. Tim's contribution, commitment, and expertise leave a lasting legacy, making this landmark development a fitting conclusion to an outstanding career.
