Swansea Council has committed £330,000 to a new all-weather sports pitch in Mumbles. The pitch is the final element of a scheme at Underhill Park which will create six new changing rooms, public toilets, an upgrade of the existing pavilion, and a new community café and activity space.
The £330,000 comes from the council's economic recovery fund, which was launched during the Covid pandemic, and matches the £330,000 already pledged by Mumbles Community Council. The group driving the project forward - Mumbles Community Association (MCA) - has applied to other organisations to try to raise further funds for the pitch, which will cost just under £1.1 million.
Work on the main building project will cost more than £2 million and could be completed in time for a spring 2023 opening. It'll be used by Mumbles Rugby Club and Mumbles Rangers Football Club, among others.
