EALING’S Lammas Park scooped the ‘Outstanding London Sports Venue Award’ last month.
The monthly award from MyLocalPitch was given to Will to Win Lammas Park in June.
Will to Win was set up 20 years ago to improve sport facilities in public parks and they have been operating Lammas Park since 2000.
‘Sport For All’ is the company motto and this vision is achieved through getting more people into sports and keeping fit all year round by providing attractive, accessible and affordable facilities in public areas.
This mantra has produced terrific results and only this month Lammas Park officially opened three new floodlit astroturf football pitches which can also be used for tennis.
Jamie Foale, co-founder of MyLocalPitch, said: “Will to Win continues to work wonders in getting more people into sport and activities across London.
"Lammas Park is an exceptional example of the commitment shown in operating sports facilities in London and their team thoroughly deserve this award.”
Will to Win is having a positive impact as Sport England’s report into participation reports that 39.3% of Ealing locals engage in at least one session a week.
Steve Riley, founder and director at Will to Win said: “Will to Win has spent the past 20 years working with councils to develop great, affordable, accessible facilities in parks and, in more recent years have diversified into football and netball.
“This award means a lot to us as it demonstrates that local players have heard of what we do and appreciate the services we offer the local community, which not only include facilities but also coaching and cafe hubs.”
The award, which is determined by MyLocalPitch users, was based on pitch quality, venue amenities and customer experience.
