Project Story: The client wanted a sports and outdoor gym facility that
would help combat anti-social behaviour that that was a recurrent issue
on a MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) that previously occupied the space.
Proludic’s solution was to bring together a variety of sports (in the form
of a MUSA – Multi-Use Sports Area) on a single tarmac pad, with
thermographic ground markings to enhance the play zones and improve
exercise value. The result is a colourful and inviting space where 60+
users of different ages and abilities can exercise alongside one another.
In addition to football and basketball, users can choose from over 20
different activities, including netball, trampolining, table tennis, dance,
pilates, and cricket. The MUSA thereby offers far more appeal than a
standard MUGA. The layout is designed to be open with as few visual
barriers as possible. By bringing together a wide range of activities in
a single space, the space encourages different age groups to exercise
together. This reduces the likelihood of anti-social behaviour and provides
a greater sense of shared responsibility and ownership to its users.

I am delighted to have been
involved in this project. This MUSA
offers a wide range of equipment
which provides many opportunities
for members of the community to
come together and engage in regular
sport and fitness. It really has
something for everyone and it looks
great!
