Para 1.17 and 1.19	We have pitches for cricket, football, a MUGA (multi-use games area) with tennis courts, netball courts, a basketball court anda five -a -side football pitch. We have a bowling green, a children’s play area as well as informal recreation space. There are three changing rooms and a function room/kitchen and toilets in the main building. The community centre is open to all residents of the civil parish of Kirkby Ireleth, and is well used by residents and visitors alike for fitness classes, art, local history and social groups as well as private family celebrations. The village school uses the facilities for sports day, PE lessons and as quiet location for SATs tests. The village toddler group (Little Acorns) meet in the hall weekly in term-time. The hall is used as an outreach post office one morning a week, from October to March followed by a soup lunch once a month funded by Kirkby charities. The hall is also used as a polling station when there is an election.

The thirty year old childrens playground is increasingly requiring expensive maintenance and the major project for the year has been to raise funds for its replacement. Each year the Community Centre has a Village Gala, and in 2022 there was also the Platinum jubilee celebration with an afternoon tea on the field and in the hall, such events bring all ages together.
