Versatile sports surfacing installed at Bradford School.

Thornbury Primary School based on the outskirts of Bradford has a rich and diverse group of children, who between them speak 26 languages and come from all over the world. This super group of children are now able to enjoy playing sports on their brand new multi-use games pitch thanks to Playrite contractor, Dura-Sport were appointed to re-surface the existing multi-use games area at the school.

The multi-use games area (MUGA) was divided into two separate multi-use playing areas. The first area was a traditional green, artificial grass sports pitch, marked out for 2 netball courts. The second area was surfaced in a terracotta synthetic grass and marked out with a sprint track and Kwik Cricket pitch.

Both pitches used Playrite’s Matchplay 2, unique needlepunch surface  but the areas were  tailored for the specific needs in differing colours and in−laid lines to denote the different uses of the pitches.

Matchplay 2 is an ideal choice for multi use games areas, especially in educational settings and can offer high performance and durability in a range of sports, particularly netball and tennis. The built in cushion layer makes for medium-paced play and is easy on player’s leg joints.
