3G pitch at Risca Community Comprehensive School and Leisure Centre

The installation of a full size dual use rugby and football 3G pitch replacing the existing Artificial Turf Pitch (ATP) at Risca Community Comprehensive School and Leisure Centre.

Caerphilly Council has secured £1m from Welsh Government’s Community Focused Schools capital grant for the installation of a full size dual use rugby and football 3G pitch replacing the existing Artificial Turf Pitch (ATP) at Risca Comprehensive School and Leisure Centre.

The current ATP and supporting infrastructure are coming to the end of its life and is not currently fit for purpose but is still used during the day by the Comprehensive School to support curriculum delivery, and at evenings and weekends by a range of community sports clubs.
