Exciting news for Aberaeron! Plans for a new multi-use sports court at Aberaeron Comprehensive School are on the brink of approval by Ceredigion council. This fantastic addition promises to enhance community sports facilities and extend usage hours with its state-of-the-art LED floodlights.
The project involves transforming the existing macadam tennis courts into a vibrant Cruyff Court, a versatile space with an artificial grass surface perfect for football and other sports. There’s more! A 3 v 3 basketball court, a polymeric trim trail, and a floodlighting system are all part of this ambitious plan.
Backed by the renowned Cruyff Foundation, the new facilities aim to boost inclusivity and promote healthy lifestyles within the community. With plans to operate from 9am-9pm on weekdays and up to 8pm on weekends, this space will cater to both school and community sports enthusiasts throughout the year.
Local support is strong, with endorsements from the likes of Aberaeron Netball Club, Cricket Club, Rugby Club, and various football clubs. Even the town council has rallied behind this initiative. While some residents have raised concerns about potential issues like light pollution, the overall sentiment remains positive, emphasising improved accessibility and year-round use of outdoor sports spaces.
With approval anticipated soon, Aberaeron is set to become a hub of sporting activity, providing top-notch facilities that both school children and the wider community can enjoy. Who’s excited about this upgrade? Share your thoughts! 🏀⚽✨
