Burgess Park Sports Centre Hub

The Burgess Park Landscape Master Plan and Physical Activity and Sport Strategy highlights the need to increase and enhance the sports facilities in Burgess Park to meet the current and increasing demands.

People playing football on green field in Burgess Park — Artificial grass is being installed on the new football pitches

The sports centre had several issues and the all-weather pitch was in poor condition. They've now been demolished, and are being replaced with a new, more efficient sports centre and two full-sized 4G all-weather pitches, suitable for different sports.

You can download the plans ^{(PDF, 753kb)}. If you have any questions or require a paper copy, email parks@southwark.gov.uk.

Planning permission was granted in November 2019 (application number 19/AP/1275), and a planning amendment (21/AP/1002) was approved in July 2021.

Planning permission was granted in July 2022 for a ballcourt suitable for wheelchair sports and basketball, which has been built next to the football pitches.

Next steps

Construction is underway. The new facility is expected to open in summer 2024.
