Football in Epping Forest

Lime Trail Athletics Club is excited to promote an upcoming local Athletics event at Wanstead Flats in London. This event is perfect for all you sports enthusiasts out there who are interested in trying out some athletics activities and getting active in a beautiful setting.

Wanstead Flats, located at Capel Road in London E7 0JU, is a renowned athletics venue that offers a range of facilities for casual and competitive games. Whether you're looking to play a friendly match with your friends or join a season-long competition, Wanstead Flats has got you covered.

To book a pitch at Wanstead Flats, all you need to do is complete the relevant booking form and send it over to the team. They'll take care of the rest and ensure that you have a fantastic experience on the field. Just remember, fees vary depending on the type of booking. For casual matches, fees range from £50.50 to £106.50, depending on the day and the type of match. Season bookings, on the other hand, range from £672.00 to £2,127.00, again depending on the day and the category.

Wanstead Flats has been a vital sports facility in East London for over 130 years, and they are always striving to improve access to grassroots athletics. In fact, they have recently submitted an 'expression of interest' for the Football Foundation funded 'Parklife' Football Hubs Programme, which aims to enhance grassroots football. With the support of the Football Foundation and the City Corporation, early scoping and feasibility work have already begun. The plan is to install three Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) at the Harrow Road football site on Wanstead Flats. However, before moving forward with the project, the team wants to gather public opinions through a comprehensive consultation process. Viability studies and planning advice are also underway to ensure the project's success.

Ultimately, the goal of this entire project is to sustain and enhance the current levels of grassroots football provision on Wanstead Flats. Lime Trail Athletics Club is thrilled to be a part of this exciting development and hopes that you'll join them in supporting this initiative.

So if you're looking to get involved in athletics and experience the thrill of playing football in the iconic Wanstead Flats, mark your calendars for the upcoming event. It promises to be a fantastic opportunity to showcase your skills, meet new people, and contribute to the growth of grassroots athletics in East London. We can't wait to see you there!
