Aside from free sport for kids, another key concept of Spring Lane is to offer a range of outdoor sports, not normally available in the local area. Taking a central position on site, sandwiched between the indoor facility and the open stream, lies the sand sports area.
Covering an area of 60m x 40m, the sand area is capable of hosting 6 beach volleyball courts and available to play a range of other beach sports including beach: football, rugby, frisbee and cricket and more diverse sports such as kabaddi, tug of war and even for the less physically able Petanque.
Building on the success of the recent Commonwealth Games, where beach Volleyball was one of the most watched sports, the local community were asked if a sand area would be a good addition to Spring Lane, the answer was overwhelmingly yes!
