fantastic on the outside - better on the inside
The building boasts excellent changing accommodation perfect for even the muddiest of teams. There is a community room with optional bar area available for corporate hire and bookings in conjunction with sporting activities. There are also a number of additional areas available for meetings, activity sessions and courses.
For those wanting to develop their mind as well as their body, there is a fully equipped Information Communication Technology (ICT) suite located on the first floor of the building. It has more than 20 computers and is equipped with adaptive hardware and software to assist individuals with visual impairments and disabilities. A variety of courses will be run by Eccles College within the ICT suite ranging from IT for beginners to advice on creating healthy diet plans.
pitches
The facility boasts several grass football pitches, two 3rd generation synthetic pitches and a grass practice area. The pitches are floodlit and provide outdoor use in all weathers.
As well as offering the opportunity to hire the pitch privately, Salford Community Leisure and Manchester FA will be providing organised coaching sessions and coaching courses. These sessions are designed to cater for all ages and abilities and offer the highest standard of instruction.
