Welcome to Cookley Playing Fields
Our 6.5 acres of well-maintained grass provide an ideal playing surface for a variety of sports throughout the year. During winter, the fields transform into a vibrant football hub featuring two adult pitches, a 9 versus 9 pitch, and three mini soccer pitches—two of which cleverly overlap with the 9 versus 9 pitch to maximise space.
When summer arrives, the area is dedicated to cricket, serving as the home ground for Cookley Cricket Club. This seasonal versatility ensures that sports enthusiasts can enjoy high-quality facilities no matter the time of year.
A Hub for Local Sports Teams
Cookley Playing Fields proudly serve as home grounds for both Cookley Sports FC and Cookley Cricket Club, fostering local talent and providing a welcoming environment for players and supporters alike.
Beyond athletic pursuits, our playing fields are a cherished venue for community gatherings and events. From lively music festivals and spirited beer festivals to traditional fetes, carnivals, and our much-anticipated annual bonfire night firework display—the fields offer something for everyone.
When not hosting sports or events, Cookley Playing Fields remain open as a peaceful area for general recreation. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a leisurely walk, play with family and friends, or simply relax outdoors, our fields provide a welcoming green space in the heart of the community.
