  • Community sites - these are our 'turn up and play' sites and you do not need to book or pay to use them. This includes all of our basketball courts.
  • Secondary sites - these are are suitable for organised sports training and competition. All users will need to make formal booking and pay to use them.
  • Primary sites - these are our high specification sites and are suitable for organised sports training and competition. All users will need to make formal booking and pay to use them.
