Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) for Norwood

The permanent outdoor Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) at Vale Street, West Norwood, SE27 is now open.

The games area, developed on a portion of the Vale Street depot, provides a modern, safe, floodlit pitch with an all weather surface that is designed to provide comfortable playing whilst also reducing the risk of injury.

The council is committed to providing more positive things for young people to do and more places to go in their local area. The new MUGA builds on the success of the temporary facility developed in 2006 and aims to provide a safe and appropriate place to play throughout the year.

Opening times

The new facility is open to all and is available for use on a first come, first served basis. Opening hours are between 0800 and 2100 everyday, with the exception of Christmas Day.

Will the new MUGA affect the Vale Street depot site?

The new games area will operate independently from the vehicle depot. Some changes have been made to the parking layout and entrance way of the depot in order to ensure the games area is safe and secure.

The new sports facility does not affect the operating hours of the depot, the number of vehicles operating from the depot, or the routes that these vehicles take. As the MUGA offers sports facilities for local young people (aged 10 to 17), it will not impact on traffic or parking in the vicinity of the site.
