New All Weather Pitch for Grovelands Community School

Grovelands Community Primary School in Hailsham, East Sussex, are the proud owners of a brand new all weather pitch.

Sportslawn Ltd installed the 18m x 40m pitch, despite outrageous weather conditions, during the winter months.

The school opted for Sportslawn because of the competative price and the lack of disruption during installation, some of which took place during term time.The school chose the popular '3rd Generation' surface: a 50 mm carpet which is sand and rubber filled. This has resulted in a comfortable and safe surface that can be used all year round.

The school had great problems in the winter- their playing fields regularly becoming water logged and leaving the tarmac playground as the only option for play time and sports lessons.

The children are extremely pleased with their new sports facility and are enjoying being able to slide tackle with abandon and are falling over with smiles on their faces.
