CRICKET FACILITIES 
HESLAM PARK IN 2000

THE SCORE-BOX

The score-box at the ground was built when the ground facilities were developed with a sports aid fund from the National Lottery. It is situated in a corner of the ground and gives an excellent view of the ground when cricket is taking place from its upper tier position. The scores are shown by using a pull cord system and is regularly maintained by 'Kiddle Enterprises'. The lower part of the box acts as a storage area for ground maintenance machinery.

CHANGING ROOMS

The changing rooms were built in 1997 with the aid of a grant from the Sports Council, along with the Score-box, allowing the old changing rooms to be developed into an extension of the club house. There are 8 team changing rooms, showers, toilets, medical room, disabled facilities and a gym situated in the facility. The two main changing rooms are very spacious, with one dressing room being the normal size of a lot of clubs changing rooms for both sides. There are about 25 shower heads with running hot water

THE SQUARE

The square in the last few seasons has been reduced from 17 pitches to 14, of which 7 have been relayed, as well, an artificial pitch has been put down to aid in the development of junior cricket. There is a clay pitch in the centre of the square which was re-laid four years ago. The square is used for 3 weekend teams, 2 junior teams and the Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph. There are discussions taking place at the moment to relay another three pitches at the end of the 2000 season.

THE CLUBHOUSE

The clubhouse at the ground has some excellent facilities and following the redevelopment has a major function room, bar, committee room and a kitchen area. The function room is available for functions but would need to be booked in advance to avoid disappointment. The main bitter is John Smiths. 

Teas for the cricket are prepared and eaten in the Clubhouse.
