Caerphilly County Borough Council is proud to announce the opening of a new dual use 3G artificial turf pitch at St Cenydd Leisure Centre, located on the campus shared with St Cenydd Community School. Funded through the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), the £1 million development is a key investment in high-quality, accessible sports provision for both education and community use.

The new facility has been delivered as part of the Council’s wider commitment to active, healthy lifestyles through its Sport and Active Recreation Strategy and long-term Place Shaping programme. It meets World Rugby and FIFA standards and enables year-round access for school pupils, local sports clubs and the wider public.

Councillor Chris Morgan, Cabinet Member for Leisure, said:

“This new dual-use facility represents a significant investment in local sport and physical activity. It will provide a safe, modern and accessible environment for school pupils, sports clubs and the wider community to enjoy all year round. The project reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting healthier, more active lifestyles through the Sport and Active Recreation Strategy.”

Councillor Carol Andrews, Cabinet Member for Education and Communities, added:

“The new 3G pitch is a fantastic example of Place Shaping in action. By investing in a shared site, we’re maximising value for both learners and the local community. Projects like this show our continued commitment to providing sustainable and inclusive spaces where people can thrive.”
