Wyncote 3G Pitch - Coming soon
Our brand-new 3G pitch at Wyncote Sports Grounds is almost ready to be unveiled. Work has been underway since the Summer to provide upgraded facilities for our students and local community.
We’re thrilled to announce that our brand-new 3G pitch at Wyncote Sports Grounds is nearing completion and will soon be unveiled. Construction began in the summer of 2024, and this excellentfacility represents a significant investment in upgraded facilities for our students and the local community.
The new pitch will provide University sports clubs with a top-quality playing surface, enhancing our existing offer, which already includes a sand-dressed synthetic hockey pitch, a 3G football pitch, and 13 grass pitches. The new pitch is specifically designed to meet the needs of contact team sports, including Rugby Union, Rugby League, American Football, and Gaelic Football.
As part of this project, we’ve also committed to sustainability and heritage preservation, planting 30 new trees, and installing LED floodlights designed to be carbon-efficient, reducing energy consumption and related emissions. In addition, the Grade II listed spectator gantry is undergoing a full refurbishment and will reopen alongside the new 3G pitch in March.
When not in use for formal University programmes, the pitch will be available for hire. For more details on availability and hire charges, click here.
The new 3G pitch will be a game-changer, particularly for our contact team sports, enabling them to train and compete on appropriate surfaces. This exciting addition will also allow us to offer tailored all-weather facilities for all our Wyncote-based clubs while ensuring our grass pitches are maintained to the highest standard. We can’t wait to see the positive impact it will have on our students and the wider community. We’re looking forward to unveiling this fantastic new facility and continuing to provide an outstanding sports experience for everyone at the University and beyond!
