Many schools, community centers and sports clubs are considering installing a multi-use games area or MUGA Pitch. It can provide a space for a range of different sports to be played and is particularly useful in areas with limited floor space, as it does not require any premium grass or artificial turf surfaces. It is also an all-weather option and this means it can be used by pupils and teams regardless of the season or whether it rains.

There are several different types of MUGA pitch that can be installed, but the most common is a Type 3 polymeric surface. This is made from a mixture of SBR and EPDM rubber granules which are then bound together with slip-resistant materials and a polyurethane binder. The resulting surface is then laid onto a macadam base and is available in the colors green and red.

The surfacing for a MUGA is an important consideration, as it will determine how well the pitch performs. There are many options to choose from, including porous tarmacadam and synthetic turf.
