Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs)



At The Playground Company, we have over a decade of experience in designing and installing Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs) tailored to the unique needs of schools, parks, leisure facilities and sports centres. Our MUGAs provide versatile, durable, and engaging spaces for people to stay active, build skills, and enjoy the benefits of physical activity.



What Is a MUGA?

A Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) is a purpose-built, enclosed space designed to support a variety of sports and activities. Commonly featuring durable surfaces, clear markings, and adaptable equipment, MUGAs can accommodate sports such as football, basketball, tennis, netball and more. These spaces are ideal for schools looking to maximize the utility of their outdoor areas, offering flexibility and inclusivity for students of all ages and abilities.

Key Features of Our MUGAs


  • Customizable Designs: Tailored layouts to fit your available space and meet your school's specific requirements.


  • Durable Materials: High-quality, weather-resistant surfaces and robust fencing ensure long-lasting performance.


  • Safety First: Available with impact-absorbing surfaces and secure enclosures to prioritize the safety of students during play.


  • Multi-Sport Markings: Clear, professional markings for a range of sports, enhancing the versatility of the area.


  • Inclusive Access: Designs that cater to students of all abilities, promoting inclusivity and teamwork.'




Benefits of MUGAs for Schools


1. Maximized Use of Space

Schools often face limitations with outdoor space. A MUGA allows a single area to serve multiple purposes, making the most of your playground or field. By accommodating several sports and activities, a MUGA ensures that every inch of your space is utilized effectively.


2. Encouraging Physical Activity

Regular physical activity is vital for students' physical and mental well-being. MUGAs provide an engaging environment where children can participate in structured sports or free play, fostering a lifelong love of movement and fitness.


3. Enhanced PE Lessons

With a dedicated MUGA, PE lessons become more dynamic and enjoyable. Teachers have the flexibility to introduce a variety of sports without needing separate areas for each activity. This leads to more engaging and comprehensive physical education.


4. Improved Social Skills

Team sports and group activities within a MUGA encourage cooperation, communication, and teamwork. These essential social skills help students build relationships and work effectively with peers.


5. Year-Round Usability

Thanks to weather-resistant materials and thoughtful design, our MUGAs are suitable for use in all seasons. This ensures that students have consistent access to outdoor activities, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.




Creating Your MUGA

There are many ways to personalise our MUGA to suit your requirements – this includes adding goals, nets, fencing and choosing the right surfacing for you.
