Marlborough Sports Garden has won the Future Place category of The Pineapple awards at The Festival of Place, an annual event that celebrates the very best in placemaking.

The garden is being created with the aim of fostering local community space, hosting a large sports facility that is free for all to access and offers a wide range of sports activities and events. The new building, currently undergoing planning permission review, is set to start work over the coming years and will help cater for even more activities at the site, introducing cafes, lavatories, and even opens up the possibility of hosting workshops.

Cundall has been consulting on zero carbon MEP strategy, sustainable design and artistic lighting design for the planning of the garden, working alongside Cullinan studios, Engenuiti, Turkington Martin and Bristow Consulting, as a pro-bono community project.
