Free access
Following the three-month (May, June July 2026) free access to the facility, Mickleton Parish Council has voted to allow free access to the facility for the foreseeable future.
The MUGA, skateboard area, outdoor gym equipment and courts are currently free to all casual users, there is no need to book to use the equipment.
All users must bring and use their own sports equipment, e.g. balls, rackets. There are no changing room or toilet facilities available at the site.
Note
If you are an organised group, please contact the clerk regarding using the facility.
Before participating in any sporting activity, check whether your sport is safe to play. Every sport’s national governing body should have published guidance on how to participate safely.
Follow the guidance even where this means modifications to the game. Organised outdoor sport for adults and children is permitted with any number of participants, where it is formally organised.
Organised sports groups and teams/professional coaches are able to book the tennis/netball courts and also the MUGA pitch, as long as they can provide:
- An up-to-date copy of their public liability insurance cover
- Confirmation that group leaders, if working with children or vulnerable adults, have up to date DBS checks in place
- A risk assessment
