FACILITIES
A PITCH FIT FOR PROS
Our full-size 3rd generation artificial, floodlit pitch is perfect for play all year round. Using the latest technology the artificial turf is cushioned on sand and filled with rubber pellets providing a totally natural feeling for the sportsperson.
It has the same shock absorbency as soil and natural turf which is kind on the muscles and joints. The area's top youth players from Hitchin Town FC and Luton Town FC are amongst many reaping the rewards of what it has to offer. The ground itself is fully flexible to meet the needs of different groups. It can be used as one full-size pitch, divided into thirds for smaller sided games and training, or into mini pitches for mini football, tournaments and other sports.
Spectators can also sit back and enjoy the surroundings with a covered seating area and stands.
CHANGING ROOMS
Four large changing rooms with shower facilities and lockers mean that the centre can be used by several different groups at the same time. Along with ample parking, The Arena is ideal for tournaments and business leagues.
