Fantastic new facility within the Brierfield Mills complex with plenty of free football and cricket sessions.

They’re having a bit of trouble finishing off the corners.

I was there during the week as my lad was playing footy there. It does look like a good facility. Only one pitch inside - although there was something advertising outdoor pitches, don't know if they have opened yet. There's not a huge amount to indicate the link with the club (although aren't the community side a totally separate thing now???). There's a viewing area above - which is good for parents/spectators. There's also meant to be a kids playing area but I didn't look round to see what this was like. It also doesn't really look like a sports centre - I drove past it thinking it was something else! Plenty of parking mind.

My daughter is having her 6th birthday party there tomorrow on the climbing walls. It’s a really good facility and another string to the bow of the great Community Department.

I go to the soft play most weeks with my 2 year old.

Brilliant facility, which should benefit the whole area.

It’s good to see that we are putting wheels on our community projects that should stand the test of time and should function as intended, no matter which division the club is in.

It's fantastic. I go regularly with the grandchildren. Burnley FC should be highly commended

Been with our 1 year old for the soft play area which is great and free. Football and nets look good, hats off to those who’ve brought the old mill back to life!
