Cotswold Recreation Ground and Sports Centre

The field has one full-sized football pitch which is used from 1 September until 30 April each year by local clubs.

There is a play area for children under eight years, and an area for older children with a slide and rope bridge. There is also a "goal end" where budding footballers can practice their skills.  In late 2023, a multi-use games area (MUGA), outdoor gym, social area, and cycle track for younger children were installed.

The sports centre is leased by the parish to West Berkshire Council who, from 1 July 2023, engaged Everyone Active to manage it under a ten-year contract.  In 2025, the disused tennis courts next to the centre were refurbished as a 3G playing surface.  Enquiries about the sports centre's facilities should be made to 0118 941 4690.
