Informal play areas
We consider informal games as casual ‘jumpers for goalposts’ type activities. Company sports days and organised club training sessions are not considered informal. These activities always require permission and must be pre-booked.
Our summer sports and company event season resumes Wednesday 23 April with enquiries from Tuesday 4 March. For company sports days please read the information on our website and complete an enquiry form (available from 9:30am on 4 March).
Looking after our pitches
You may see pitches that are not being used but this does not mean they are free to play on. We regularly rest and carry out maintenance work on the sports pitches to ensure their high quality throughout the year.
As a charity it costs in excess of £250,000 per year for the upkeep of the sports pitches in The Regent’s Park and those using the facilities are asked to contribute to their upkeep by booking.
We do not make a profit from the charges so we ask you respect our policy of keeping off the sports pitches if you do not have a booking.
