New multi-sport astro planned for Ballina

BALLINA is set to get a welcome boost to its sports facilities.

A municipal multi-sport astro pitch is proposed at Belleek, which will cater for a wide range of local sports clubs.

The proposed astro pitch will be located on the footprint of an existing grass-based pitch at the location.

It is anticipated that there will be a 24-month construction period, to commence in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The proposed development by Mayo County Council is confined to a 0.5 hectare site, converting an existing grass-based sports pitch into an all-weather astro.
