New sports facility in Penge

Crystal Palace FC get the ball rolling at new sports facility

Crystal Palace FC will be helping local residents celebrate the launch of a new sports facility as part of a £3.6 million redevelopment scheme at Castledine Road in Penge this Wednesday 14 July.

The event will be kick started by coaching staff from the football club who will be providing people with a top class skills and training session. Attendees will then have the chance to show off their skills and compete in a number of basketball and football tournaments.

With a focus on healthy living, the event will be putting on a healthy BBQ and smoothie making bike in tow to keep the hungry competitors going.

The Affinity Sutton Group have developed the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) working alongside the Hills Partnership - a group offering partnered design and build for affordable homes - to carry out the work.

Set up for basketball, football and netball, the games area will provide local residents of all ages with somewhere to play sports all year round.
