Our ethos...

EcoSport champions the shift towards sustainable sports facilities

"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance" - George Bernhard Shaw

Many different markets to the UK and Ireland have already embraced environmentally friendly design principles within their sports pitch development, and the technology to support this approach is well-established and proven.

Our local market is only just taking 'baby steps' into the world of sustainable sports surfaces, so rather than relying on the local 'think tank' we use our knowledge and experience of tried and tested systems to push ahead of the curve in our sports system design.

Our goals....

We aim to provide our clients with the most sustainable sports facility the industry can provide whilst respecting limited budgets through innovative, bespoke design and life cycle costing.

Integrating sustainability principles into the sports facility sector and encompassing environmental aspects and impacts, we go beyond traditional sports development by considering long-term impacts and fostering positive change through sports field technology.

We involve planning, designing, building, and operating sports facilities in ways that are environmentally responsible. This concept aims to minimise the negative impact of sports on the environment while maximizing positive contributions to communities and future generations.

Our objectives are aligned with and assist in the implementation of the following prominent industry body goals;
