NEW SPORTS AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES FOR RURAL EAST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Opening Event – Sunday, September 12th at 2pm. Entry free               

The first phase of the sports and community facilities at Kings Cliffe - including all weather multi-use floodlit pitch, two full size soccer pitches, basketball, half pipe for skateboarders and young children’s play area - is nearly complete and already in use. This is an exciting and ambitious community facility - conceived, developed and managed by local volunteers.
Everyone in the area is invited to the opening event on Sunday 12th September at 2pm. You can see and use the facilities and we are planning lots of extra activities and stalls including a Five-a-Side Football tournament which will run all day, archery, cycling, golf and rowing competitions.
A Fun Run will take place at 1.30pm and the afternoon will be rounded off with a Big Band concert.
The next phase on the 12-acre site will include changing rooms and indoor spaces for a broad range of leisure and keep fit activities for all ages. The web site for booking the soccer and all weather floodlit multi use game area (MUGA) will be up and running soon. Kings Cliffe Active is at Kingsmead, Station Road, Kings Cliffe PE8 6PX. Funds for the project were provided by East Northamptonshire Council, Kings Cliffe Environmental Association, The Big Lottery(Community Spaces and People’s Millions), WREN, Northants CC, The Welland Pot, Bullimores and Bulwick PC.
