Carvers Recreation Ground is a 6 acre open space. We have two football goals, a skate park and a table tennis table which are available to use all day, every day. Own equipment required although we have spare bats and balls available when the Clubhouse is open.

This summer, we will make available our tennis courts at the back of the recreation ground towards Ringwood School. These will be open Mondays, 9am-4pm, Tuesday to Friday, 9am-5pm, Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 11am to 3pm. They will be free to use and one court will be set up as tennis and one for basketball/netball. Please note, courts will be available for one hour at a time when busy. To borrow equipment, please pop into the Clubhouse and leave your details.

We will also have a rounders pitch set up and you can borrow equipment to play as well as badminton.

Sorry, the Café is closed on Mondays. If you would like to hire the facilities, please email carversclubhouse@ringwood.gov.uk.

No, we haven’t gone mad and built a lake on Carvers! We have teamed up with Ethical Activities to offer the chance for some fun on the water this summer! We will be running 6 weekly evening sessions over the summer holidays, free of charge. Every session will take place at Spinnaker Sailing Club and last 1 and a half hours, led by a fully qualified paddlesport instructor. Suitable for those aged 10-14.

We are prioritising places for young people who have recently experienced some disadvantage or challenge- this could be due to family issues, financial hardship, caring responsibility, difficulty at school and so on. We are keeping that definition quite loose deliberately as recognise that young people may have experienced difficulties recently in very different ways. And we don’t need to know the reason either unless there is something you need to share with us such as medical history.

For more information on how to book, please read Carvers Kayak Club. Each session will be booked on a first come first served basis.

Team Rubicon are back for a jam packed day of coaching, games, competitions and demos. The competitions will be open to all and cover skate, scoot and bmx riders depending on who comes on the day and will be split by age groups.
