A new state-of-the-art outdoor sports hub has officially opened in Burgess Hill.
The Arc, developed in partnership with Homes England, aims to boost health, wellbeing and community life across Mid Sussex.
It offers facilities for football, rugby and cricket, including floodlit 3G and artificial grass pitches.
Leader of the Council, Councillor Robert Eggleston, said “The Arc is a fantastic addition to Burgess Hill and a testament to what can be achieved through strong partnerships and a commitment to community development.
“The new sporting facility has been designed by the local community for the local community, ensuring it becomes a valued and integral part of local life. We’re excited to see it become a hub for sport, health, wellbeing and connection.”
Located on an 8.6-hectare site, The Arc is part of the Brookleigh development, which is providing 3,500 homes with 30% of those classed as affordable housing.
Neil Miller, Head of Development (South) at Homes England, said, “Brookleigh is providing a sustainable new community in Mid Sussex, and The Arc plays an important role in this, we look forward to seeing it enjoyed by the local community.”
The Arc will be operated by Places Leisure, who also manage three other leisure facilities in the district.
