• They're renovating old courts right in the middle of Hackney Downs park and have so far put a cage around one court. If they redo the surface and cage the other courts we might be lucky.
    It'll be very similar to Newington. (didn't see any posts for lights but it's still early stages)

    It's a work in progress that I've got my eyes on...

    Will keep y'all posted.

    [delurk]This is the new MUGA (multi-games area) that there has been a bit of a local kerfuffle about.

    http://www.hackney.gov.uk/hackney-downs-improvements.htm

    These sorts of things are getting built all the time, and it might be worth investing time in developing a template for how hardcourt bike polo could be incorporated in one to start with, i.e., what kind of provision is needed, and how does it square with provision for other sports?

    This might be easier than campaigning for a dedicated polo court, as a key selling point of MUGAs is obviously the multi-games aspect, which is part of the justification for the public funding. The drawback is equally obvious, having to share it with other sports, but it might be a way forward.[/delurk]
