MUGAs are surrounded by fencing that helps keep the ball in play inside the area. MUGAs are often installed in schools as it allows multi sports to be played on one pitch. During school hours, the MUGA will be exclusively for use of pupils at Wilberforce Primary School; outside of school hours, the MUGA will be open to bookings from members of the wider community.
