Keith artificial pitch open again for bookings after £200k major revamp project completed
A Moray town’s artificial turf pitch is open for bookings following its £200,000 refurbishment.
Keith’s pitch is one of a number of 3G facilities that have been upgraded across Moray, with work to resurface synthetic turf pitches in Buckie and Aberlour already being completed.
As part of the work in Keith, the floodlights at the pitch have also been converted to energy efficient LED lighting.
Members of the community can book the pitch, by contacting Keith Sports and Community Centre on (01542) 882222, or by emailing keith.cc@moray.gov.uk.
Chair of Moray Council’s Education, Communities and Leisure Services Committee, Councillor Kathleen Robertson said: “This is a significant refurbishment, which will ensure the availability of a high quality and durable 3G facility for schools, local sports groups, and other members of the community for years to come.
“I’m particularly pleased that we’ve been able to complete this upgrade with a focus on sustainability - the old turf is being fully recycled, and the project has also utilised recycled products such as the kickboards around the pitch.”
