Council’s 3G Pitch Investment To Kick Off In 2023

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is investing in a new 3G training pitch at Monkstown.

The Council’s investment will transform the existing grass training pitch to a 3G synthetic surface with floodlights and improved access. Work is planned to kick off in January 2023 and expected to be completed by summer 2023. The 3G surface will significantly improve the playability of the pitch, meeting the needs of a range of local clubs.

This latest 3G pitch project is part of a significant Council investment in 3G pitches in the area with a full size 3G pitch planned for Rathcoole.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Billy Webb commented on the investment,

"I am delighted that the Council is committed to investing in grassroots sports and supporting local clubs as they make such a valuable contribution to our community."
