Pitches and courts in Swindon

Dorcan Recreational Complex

Dorcan Recreational Complex is a cracking grassroots sports facility where players will find a state-of-the-art 3G football pitch. It’s full size, but can also accommodate 7-a-side football bookings. The full size pitch is perfect for casual kick abouts or for league sides looking for a regular home. There are dividing nets installed to make it simple to split the full-size pitch into three 7-a-side pitches. Whatever format footballers choose to play, there are professional markings to divide the pitches and hard-working staff maintain the quality of the goals. It’s worth checking with the venue manager whether footballs, bibs or referees can be hired for a football fixture.

Croft Sports Centre

Croft Sports Centre is a beautiful recreational sports facility in Swindon that is perfect for footballers who have a passion for the smaller format of the game. Players can find and book 5-a-side and 9-a-side formats - both on a pristine 3G surface. There is a cage running around the pitches to ensure the ball doesn’t fly too far following a miss. These pitches are great for one-off kick abouts or a team wanting regular games through a block booking. Croft Sports Centre is fortunate to have floodlights surrounding the pitches to allow for games to continue for the entire year, if you can handle the winter months!
