As the year winds down to a close, many of our venues will experience changed opening hours to give our incredible team a much-deserved rest. Please check out our festive opening hours from Tuesday 24th December 2024 to Tuesday 7th January 2025.  

Please note: All venues will be closed on 25th & 26th December, and 1st & 2nd January (excluding Royal Commonwealth Pool). The venue opening hours listed on our venue webpages reflect typical opening hours, not those during the festive period. Some venues, though open, may have shorter opening hours than normal. Please make sure to check the above webpage for further information day by day.

Sports Pitches

Sports pitches are available throughout Edinburgh and we welcome a variety of team sports on a regular slot or for an occasional game.  We have artificial and grass surface pitches available for football, rugby, cricket, baseball, hockey and Gaelic or American football. Venues provide on-site changing facilities (except Morgan Playing Field and Warriston Playing Field).

Sports pitches are managed by us on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) and with their support for pitch maintenance. 

Many of our venues are multi-use and pitch-use changes from football in the winter to the likes of cricket and touch rugby in summer.


Pitch updates are issued on a Friday for weekend (grass) pitch bookings for football, rugby & cricket.

The decision on playability of grass pitches is made by City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) ground maintenance team.

The availability of grass pitches can be limited in the summer months when cricket is in season. Once the season is finished the pitches are not relined by CEC.
