This project will deliver a new, state of the art, multi-sports facility on the site of Moredon playing fields.
This includes:
a 1km long, competition level cycle track
a brand new 3G all weather football pitch
a new pavilion with a community room and changing rooms
two refurbished cricket pitches
three full size grass football pitches
We will also be improving the car park and adding EV charging points.
The whole project has a budget £6.3 million.
Swindon Borough Council has provided the majority of the funding for the project. Other funding has been obtained from:
Central Swindon North Parish Council
The Premier League, The FA and Government’s Football Foundation
ECB and DCMS sponsored Places to Ride Programme in conjunction with British Cycling and administered by Sport England
The project is due to be completed in Spring 2024.
The facilities will be available for the local and wider Swindon communities.
The aim is also to generate regional and national interest to hold competitions on the cycle track.
We have three contractors carrying out different parts of the project:
Snape Contracting - the pavilion
Spadeoak - the cycle track and car park
Mcardle Sport Tech - the all-weather football pitch
The site will provisionally open at 7.30am and close at 5.00pm.
Due to the close proximity to Nova Hreod Academy, delivery and collection vehicles will not be permitted to access Akers Way during school start and finish times.
The car park is closed for the safety of the public and our contractors. We will also require access for resurfacing work.
We have created an e-mail address for the project management team.
