THE Wealden Community Sports Hub, based on the outskirts of Hailsham, close to the Boship Roundabout, is moving closer to completion.
This drone image, taken by Sussex Air Imaging on 24th February, shows how much progress has been made on the site in recent months.
A milestone for the project is the completion of the 3G floodlit football pitches, which have been completed to FIFA quality. One pitch is 106 x 70m with a spectator standing area, the other is 97 x 61m. Both pitches are suitable for 11-a-side and smaller-sided games.
These pitches will provide a high-standard, year-round facility for local clubs, matches and residents, helping to address a clear shortage of quality football provision in the area, according to Wealden District Council.
The main structure of the padel court is now complete, with the final touches being planned for April. The perimeter footpath and soft landscaping is ongoing. Inside the building, all doors, skirting and architraves are finished and the vinyl flooring. The reception area has been making progress with the desk and café counters installed.
The skatepark is planned for completion this month.
Alongside this, the kitchen and café space and the skate park are nearing completion, and new car parking has been delivered.
