Portsmouth City Council, in partnership with the Football Foundation, developed the site - which is being used by the Hampshire FA on lease until 2039. The site was developed after a shortage of artificial grass pitches (AGP).

The site contains two 3G football pitches (one full size and one super-size), with the pavilion containing four changing rooms, two officials’ rooms, meeting rooms, a café, social space, outdoor seating, and a ‘Changing Places’ WC for people with limited mobility.

There are also four nine-a-side, six seven-a-side and 12 five-a-side pitches.
