A Multi Use Games Area (abbreviated MUGA) is an outdoor area with built-in goal post units for various types of sports games, such as football, basketball or tennis.
[1] MUGAs are often surrounded by a steel anti-vandal fence that also helps keep a ball in play inside the area.
Positive results from United Kingdom local authorities can provide good evidence that placements of anti-vandal Multi-use Games Areas can reduce anti-social behaviour and increase fitness within early teen age groups in both cities and parish localities.
Multi-use Games Areas (MUGA) can include producing goal posts, target panels, fencing and seating.
A MUGA can encourage people to explore the potential of different sports in a safe environment, built solely for that purpose.
