Ashton playing fields are great on numerous levels. There is a great astro-turf pitch; which is great for a variety of sports. Most commonly people play football, rugby and American football on there. They also have a big grassed area further on. The real attraction comes with the athletics track which is to a professional standard and size — and it’s very well kept, in great condition. There is also a hall which is great for events– I DJ’ed a party there once and I’ve also been to a wedding reception there. It’s great when you find a venue like this that’s so multi-functional. When I was a kid my football team used to train there, when I was a teen we used to hang out there, when I was a bit older I used to DJ there — it’s weird, I’d never thought about it until now but this place has been a part of my life through the ages! Which is, I realise, a profoundity that is of no interest to any of you. Anyways, the main point is — if you’re into sports and need somewhere to train; Ashton Playing Fields is a great place to go. And if you need a hall for an event; the unusually circular shaped hall could be just the place.
