Information

Douglas Eyre Sports Centre is our largest ground acquired in 1909. It is home to two ground breaking social inclusion projects, Coping Through Football and Green Hearts.

The centre is also the main base for the London FA’s coach education programme and has qualified thousands over the last 26 years. The state of the art 3G pitch has pitch markings for 11v11, 9v9 and 7v7 football.

In addition to intensive use by local clubs, Waltham Forest schools also use the field for their sports days and the pitches for inter school competitions at school, district (Hackney) and county (Inner London) level.

*PLEASE NOTE WE WILL BE REPLACING THE 3G SURFACE THIS SUMMER. THE 3G PITCH WILL BE CLOSED FROM MONDAY 3RD JUNE TO MONDAY 15TH JULY 2024. WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY BOOKINGS ON THE 3G PITCH DURING THIS PERIOD.*
