The artificial turf is the latest and greatest all-weather sports facility, that can be occupied year-round. The turf has permanent markings for football and rugby. The surface is more durable and adaptable than grass, accommodating both training and games. 

Fields 3 and 4 are in regular use for summer and winter club sport. During the summer months the back fields are mainly used by midweek summer football. In winter, the grounds are used by rugby, rugby league and football for both training and as match day playing fields.
