Replacement Multi Use Games Area at Hordle Recreation Ground

Descriptions

Hordle Parish Council invites suitably qualified contractors to submit a formal tender for the redesign and construction of a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) at Hordle Recreation Ground. The facility is intended to support recreational and sporting activities for our community and must include tennis, basketball, netball, pickleball and 5 a-side football.

The current sports area measures approximately 40 x 20m2 and is enclosed by a wire mesh fence. At one end of the area are two storage sheds, these would need to be retained/relocated (to be discussed during site visits). There is also an area of 10 x 20m2 previously used for cricket nets which requires the removal of the old surface, renovation and a table tennis installed.
