The photo above shows Oathall’s brand new, replacement 3G synthetic turf sports pitch just a handful of weeks away from being ready to use by our eager students and local community users.
The turf carpet is currently being laid, after that the sand and rubber crumb pellets will be applied to ensure that pile of the carpet stays upright.
The photos below highlight the journey we’ve been on with S&C Slatter who won the tender to replace our existing pitch. The only part of the old pitch that remains, is the LED floodlights. Everything else has been replaced from the ground up, the foundations, the tarmac, the fences, the kickboards – made out of recycled artificial turf carpet – the shock pad underlay, and the turf carpet itself.
It’s been a major project, but the results I hope you agree are stunning and we can’t wait to start using it. We look forward to many years of use ahead!
