Eastfield's £2.4m Park Plan: Skate, Play, Grow!
16 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Former Overdale School site to be transformed into a vibrant community hub.
- The project includes a skate park, pump track, and biodiversity-focused landscaping.
- A 'fallback clause' exists if plans don't materialize by March 2027.
Eastfield is set to benefit from significant regeneration efforts, with plans to convert the former Overdale School site into a central community hub. This initiative, funded by past land sale proceeds, aims to create a vibrant space for residents and families.
The proposed Phoenix Park development includes a skate park, pump track, community building, walking trails, natural play areas, and gardens designed to enhance biodiversity. The project is fully costed at £2.4 million and intends to host community events and educational activities.
Additional regeneration proposals encompass signage improvements, play area upgrades, and enhancements to The Dell green space. A notable condition is a 'fallback clause,' enabling the council to redirect funds should the primary plans not be realized by March 2027.
