On the outskirts of Huddersfield is the luxury Woodland Glade residential complex. Local residents have access
to their own community centre, which offers a range of facilities including swimming, tennis and football as well as
a range of social events throughout the year. Over recent years the club’s tennis court had seen better days and was due an upgrade.
With the club seeing an increase in participants using the tennis court, the club’s board members felt it was time to
invest in a new surface.
Having reached out to Mark Buckall at EB Sports to complete the refurbishment, the club were keen for his recommendations regarding the surface solutions options available to them.
EB Sports have previously worked with Playrite on a number of tennis court projects and were able to work with the client in determining the best solution for the community centre. With tennis being the primary sport played on the court, club members wanted the option to be able to play multi-sports on the courts without it impacting on the
effectiveness of the surface.
MUGA surfaces are becoming an increasingly popular choice for sports facilities, due to their resistance to
frequent wear and tear.
Playrite’s Grandplay range is one of their most popular MUGA surfaces, which is ideal not only for Tennis but other
sports including football and hockey.
Since the court has been installed usage of the court has seen an increase, not just to play tennis but also other sports. The club members are particularly delighted with the new surface as it simulates the look of a natural grass court.
