⚽️ Playing Fields Temporarily Closed for Annual Renovation Works 🌱

We would like to advise residents, football teams and community groups that the playing fields will be **out of use for football training and matches for approximately 6–8 weeks** while essential annual renovation works are carried out.

These improvements are designed to enhance the quality, safety and long-term sustainability of the playing surface, ensuring the pitches remain in the best possible condition for the season ahead.

During this period, we kindly ask that **all groups, teams and individuals refrain from using the playing fields**. Restricting access is vital to allow the renovation works to take effect and give the pitches the best opportunity to recover and establish.

The improvement works are being funded by Kingsnorth Parish Council, with additional support from Park Farm Rangers FC through a grant from the Football Foundation.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation while these important works are completed and look forward to welcoming teams back onto improved playing surfaces later this summer.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

💧 Kingsnorth School, Church Hill, Kingsnorth, TN23 3EF
