Welcome to
Blakedown Sport & Play
We are Blakedown Sport & Play, one of the UK’s leading sports facility construction contractors. With over 50 years of experience, we specialise in construction, planning, consultancy, design and build and maintenance.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence, closely collaborating with our clients to ensure budgets, deadlines, goals and expectations are met.
At Blakedown, we are dedicated to supporting our clients in increasing participation in sport and physical activity. We believe that sports facilities should be more than just rectangular pitches in fields and we approach every project with an holistic mindset, creating spaces that truly benefit the individuals and communities they serve. We understand the transformative power of sports and aim to create facilities that are inclusive and accessible to all.
Copthorne Prep School
“A fantastic all-weather facility for the children to learn and develop their skills. Blakedown was very accommodating to minor alterations made during the build process.”
Pershore High School
“Blakedown was awarded with refurbishing our 3G pitch and installing a new sand dressed pitch. The tender team were exceptional with hearing and understanding what our full requirements were. Blakedown came up with excellent solutions to minor niggles and enhancements during the build.
The refurbishment of the 3G was finished for school return in September as per plan and the new hockey pitch was completed in October again on schedule. We are now 4 months into full use of the new hockey pitch and all we have is compliments.
Simply everyone from Pershore cannot thank Blakedown enough for the relationship in delivering such a fantastic sporting facility.”
Exeter School
“It was a pleasure to work with the very customer focused Blakedown team, who undertook the project during some very trying weather and ground conditions to see this tremendous addition to the school’s sports facilities through to completion.”
Richmond Upon Thames College
“Blakedown was commissioned to deliver a new artificial rugby pitch as well as a natural grass football pitch and we were extremely pleased with the overall performance of the Blakedown team, both pre and post contract.
The pre-contract team was very helpful in advising options for reducing overall project costs due to budget constraints. Post-contract, the on site team were competent, proactive and helpful and were flexible to suit the changing needs of the client. The works were completed slightly ahead of the agreed programme and the client has since taken occupation and has been very happy with the quality.”
Here is a brief aerial shot of our project at Underhill park, Swansea.
The full-size 3G World Rugby and FIFA-Quality standard pitch is a hub for the community, topped with @PolytanUK LigaTurf Legend Pro 260 18/4 carpet.
Thank you to everyone involved with the project.

Here are some snapshots of another one of our LTA tennis projects.
This double set of Tennis courts are located on Caedu Road, Bridgend, Wales.
Great to see how much these courts stand out despite the dull weather!
