DALLAGLIO CUTS FIRST TURF
At Warden Park Academy
World Cup winner and British and Irish Lions legend Lawrence Dallaglio, OBE, cut the first turf and officially marked the beginning of construction work on Warden Park Academy’s full size 3G multi-use sports pitch recently.
The installation is part of a continual investment by the academy to build on its 60 years of District, County and national reputation for sporting excellence.
The new playing surface is being constructed in collaboration with Notts Sports, specialist in the design, advice and supply of artificial turf for multi-sports and playgrounds.
O’Brien Sports will install a 6,052m2 3G FIFA 1 star compliant surface, underground perimeter and lateral drains, granular unbound base, an airlastic loadbearing geotextile and shockpad, kerb edgings, perimeter fencing and floodlighting.
Steve Hillman, General Manager, O’Brien Sports, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have secured the project. The new pitch will provide students and the local community with the opportunity to participate in frequent sports activities; building confidence, self-esteem, academic excellence, character building, but also give them a platform to realise their sporting goals and ambitions.”
