Broughton celebrates new floodlit community pitch

Broughton’s long-awaited 4G floodlit football pitch has officially opened, offering a major boost for local sport and recreation.

Located on Scawby Road, the modern AstroTurf facility now serves as home to Broughton Ravers, one of North Lincolnshire’s largest junior football clubs. The project took over a decade of planning and was made possible through North Lincolnshire Council funding, donations, and community fundraising efforts.

The new installation features a floodlit 4G surface designed for year-round use, creating more opportunities for youth teams and community groups to train and play regardless of weather conditions. Alongside the pitch, the site has been upgraded with new trees and hedges, secure fencing, and a community noticeboard, making it a welcoming and safe space for families and visitors.

The development marks an important step in expanding access to sport across the region, supporting active lifestyles and strengthening community connections. After years of collaboration and persistence, Broughton now has a modern sporting hub set to serve residents for generations to come.
