The village will be a top-class venue to host sports like athletics, football, rugby, netball, basketball, badminton and roller hockey, plus fitness gym, studios and café facilities. It will include a polymeric 400 metre eight lane floodlit athletics track with spectator grandstand, a full sized all weather football pitch and four separate 5-a-side football pitches. A 250m Olympic-length velodrome is also planned as part of a future phase two.
The development is the latest phase of Middlesbrough’s transformation programme and will include a dedicated link road from Ladgate Lane to reduce traffic congestion on Marton Road and help with access and parking issues at The James Cook University Hospital.
