ARCHIVED - Mazarrón Council - Camposol Football pitch announcement

After complaints and social media postings the Council give clear instructions on how to take advantage of the facility

Camposol public football pitch was installed by Mazarrón Council in early 2020 but initially could not open as a result of COVID restrictions, however since opening to the public it has proved popular with various groups and individuals and a situation has arisen where there seems to be some confusion as to who can use the pitch and its availability.

Contrary to complaints received by the Council the facility is open to all age groups and abilities, there are dropped kerbs to aid wheelchair access.

The facility cannot be booked and is available on a “First come basis”. If no one is using the pitch people can use it straight away, if it is being used then the people wanting to use it must wait or return later, but could lose their chance if someone else has turned up in the meantime.

The following public notice has been attached to the gate of the facility:

“This football pitch is a facility provided by Mazarrón Town Council for the enjoyment and for the free use of children and adults of all ages. It cannot be pre-booked or reserved in advance at any time or under any circumstances”.

It should also be pointed out that only Mazarrón Council can affix notices to the facility: it should not be used as a noticeboard or for advertising of any kind.
