The project included refurbishment of the upper and lower changing rooms, replacement of the existing eight-lane athletics track with a new IAAF-standard polymetric track, installation of new equipment, and preparation of the site for an all-weather football pitch.

The works were carried out with careful coordination around public access routes, including a live public footpath and the adjacent gun club facility. Close liaison with stakeholders ensured safe delivery throughout the 29-week programme.
