Sport & Fitness Area, Loughborough, UK

The Borough Council’s Open Spaces strategy identified a shortfall of youth facilities in the area and an off-site contribution from a local development was earmarked to address the shortage. The local community association endorsed the idea and a local consultation provided confirmation that the design was appropriate.

The aim of the project to was create a space for the whole community where there are many fitness and sporting activities, these include:

• Five-a-side football court
• Basketball full court
• Basketball skill and shooting area
• HAGS-TGO fitness equipment

The Arena has an adjacent path running all the way around the system and linking paths to the fitness area from the main path to enable all the community, no matter their ability, to gain easy access to the facility. There are also benches plotted around the facility to ensure that the community have areas of rest after a busy sport of fitness activity.

“HAGS' enthusiasm, expertise, and ability to deliver a high quality scheme within the tightest of deadlines has been extraordinary. At every stage HAGS have impressed, from the content of the tender itself including the design; the willingness to accommodate the client’s suggested revisions; through to contract administration including invoicing and liaison. HAGS were first class in all areas. Friendly, reassuring, and efficient.

Mac Construction were an important part of the team effort and grateful that HAGS selected such a skilled installer as the site presented some challenges, I would with pleasure recommend HAGS!”
