Ringwood Town Council has announced that funding has been secured to build the MUGA at Carvers Recreation Ground. The area will be built on the site of the existing tennis courts and will be free to use and open to the public. The space will be designed for flexible use and will support a range of sports including football, basketball, tennis and netball.
It will also be available for sports groups to book. The MUGA is part of the council's long-term plan to transform the park into a more inclusive and better-used space. It has been made possible thanks to a grant from Veolia Environmental Trust through the Landfill Communities Fund.
Councillor Rae Frederick, chair of the Carvers Working Party and mayor of Ringwood, said: "This is fantastic news for the town. "We’ve listened to what residents told us they wanted to see at Carvers—more sports, more nature, more places to sit and spend time—and this funding is a big step in our mission to create a park that truly serves the whole community." Work on the facility is due to begin in June or July 2025 and is expected to be completed within two weeks.
