A beautiful place to get fit and enjoy the outdoors.

If you have always wanted to play a sport or you just want to become more active then the new ground is for you.

​

As well as Abbots Bromley’s official Football, Cricket and Tennis Clubs we want everyone to use the grounds as much as possible, and here are just some of our suggestions – we really welcome your ideas.

Walkers, runners, cyclists, explorers and people who just want to play or support a team.

​

Schools – we encourage school children to use the appropriate sports pitches, walkways and cycle routes, helping them to start an active and healthy lifestyle in a safe, natural environment.

​

We also welcome Abbots Bromley’s Keep Fat Club and would love to see the following sorts of established or new clubs from the surrounding areas utilising the grounds:

​

• Jogging Club

• Walking football for the over fifties

• Rounders

• Ladies football

• Outdoor Tai Chi

• Ramblers

​

Who the Space is for?

A place for friends

A space for the young, the old, from all walks of life, to come together in one space.

​

• A space to meet old friends and make new ones

• Older residents who wish to have some quiet, contemplative time. 

• Families are especially welcome to use and enjoy all the facilities.

• Abbots Bromley and Area Youth Club  

• Charities, such as Evergreens will use the centre for meetings

• Isolated or lonely people whole heartedly encouraged to meet up and make friends

• Organisations helping older people become more active such as Age UK Staffordshire and Move it or Lose it have expressed an interest in using the new Clubhouse

• Businesses could set up networking events

Making the Grounds Eco Friendly

In addition to creating a positive impact on the local community, we are also ensuring that the new facilities provide a boost to the local wildlife and eco-system.

​

Here are a few of the goals and steps that we are taking to ensure that this happens:

✓ ​Ponds to support wildlife

✓ Bat boxes in the pavilion roof

✓ Reed beds to provide a habitat for newts, fish, frogs and birds. 

✓ Footpaths to be well maintained and interest/nature created along their route.

✓ Carbon neutral approach

✓ Balancing ponds

✓ Clean water run-offs from drainage facilities

✓ Promotion of natural history

✓ Enhanced for birds and other species

✓ Haven for wildlife

✓ Newts attracted to watercourses

✓ Ground Source Heating for the Pavillion
