The regeneration of Leckwith continues...
A state-of-the-art Airdome at the Cardiff International Sports Campus has been built in a bid to provide all-year-round sports facilities for the region.
It is part of the ongoing development and regeneration of the site that has seen continued investment from Tan Sri Vincent Tan, Steve Borley, Cardiff City House of Sport, Cardiff & Vale College and the Welsh Government.
WHAT IS AN AIRDOME & WHY THE INVESTMENT?
Similar to those situated at Chelsea and Ajax, the £650,000 air dome enclosure will be built over an artificial pitch, installed just last year, and will offer enhanced indoor training for sports teams and individuals during the winter months. The biggest benefit will be delivered to grass roots sports at junior level who will be able to train and play under cover of this impressive structure.
After taking ownership of the facilities at Leckwith in April 2016, the long-term partnership between Cardiff and Vale College and Cardiff City House of Sport has already seen significant investment made into improving and diversifying the existing facilities to provide the community with state-of-the-art sport surfaces. This latest addition, which has received a £325,000 grant from the Welsh Government, will provide an additional boost.
THE LECKWITH FOOTPRINT
The original Cardiff International Sport Stadium facility opened back in 2009, in line with the opening of Leckwith Retail Park and our Cardiff City Stadium home. A 5,000-seater stand was created at that time to support athletics and local grassroots involvement, as well as professional athletes. Cardiff City’s Academy squads have been using the facilities for U16 & U18 home matches for five seasons to date.
A wave of new development began in 2015 - including the installation of two artificial FIFA and IRB standard football and rugby 3G pitches - with its intended completion date set to be met this autumn.
