Planning & funding
Planning
There are several factors to consider when planning a Multi-use games area, whether it be in a school, private club or for public access.
Some of these factors are:
-
What sports will the facility cater for?
-
At what performance level are the sports to be played at (eg recreation only, training, competition level etc..)?
-
What surface will be used to allow all chosen sports to be played?
-
What space is available and what is the best location for access and people flow?
-
Who will maintain the MUGA?
-
Should access be restricted during certain hours?
-
What is the desired lifespan of the MUGA and what level of vandal resistance is required?
As there are so many possibilities when designing a Multi-use games area, there has to be a compromise whether it be because of a budget restriction, location restriction, or a desire to cater to many different uses without concentrating on one sport.
Axo Leisure are here to help during this planning process, and will always ensure you have the best product despite any limitations.
