The multi-use games area or what is a muga pitch is an artificial and free-draining surface that enables sports to be played all year round. Unlike grass which can get hard and crack in the summer or flood in wet weather, our surfacing is free-flowing and durable enough to cope with constant footfall. It is also environmentally friendly, requiring no special chemicals or weed killers to maintain its appearance as grass pitches do.
There are various types of MUGA surfaces available, each offering different properties. Some, like the 3G MUGAs, have both rubber and sand infill which makes them ideal for football and rugby, while others, such as polymeric MUGAs, use coloured EPDM granules in a binder that is laid over macadam to provide a hard wearing surface suitable for tennis, netball and basketball.

This is particularly useful for community and amateur sports teams as it means they can practice all year round without having to wait for the weather to improve.
