Southmead Community Sport Club
Built on the site of Pen Park School, which closed in 2001, the sports ground is funded using receipts from the sale of a part of the school for housing development, which is situated next to the site and also grant funded with the aid of external groups such as the Lawn Tennis Association and the Football Foundation.
The site is managed and operated by the Southmead Community Sports Association, an elected umbrella group consisting of members of local clubs who will be based at Pen Park Sports Ground.
The aim of the group is to:
- Provide and develop sporting opportunities for as many people from the local area as possible
- Manage and maintain the sports ground and buildings to a high standard
- Support the development of clubs and members involved to achieve their potential in their chosen sport
- Support volunteers and offer appropriate training to help them carry out their chosen roles and to develop their skills
Facilities
The sports ground will have:
- A cricket pitch/square with outdoor net facilities
- A County League standard football pitch
- Two adult football pitches, two junior pitches and training areas
- A floodlit hard court area providing Tennis, Netball, Basketball and five-a-side Football
- A fully accessible pavilion with six changing rooms, separate officials changing facilities and a community room with kitchenette
