Summary
- New PlayZone at Bude Park will feature a 3G pitch and splash pad.
- 75% of funding comes from Premier League, FA, and Football Foundation.
- Work begins March 9th, aiming to promote active and healthy lifestyles.
Work is set to commence on March 9th for a new PlayZone at Hull's Bude Park. This exciting development will include a 65ft by 98ft enclosed, floodlit 3G pitch suitable for football and netball, alongside a splash pad and pavilion.
The project has secured substantial backing, with 75% of its funding provided by a collaborative effort from the Premier League, The FA, and the government's Football Foundation. This initiative is part of a larger national program aiming to establish over 200 PlayZones nationwide.
Appointed contractor Cleveland Land Services Limited will deliver the scheme, which has also received a grant from the Crime Prevention Fund. Hull City Council anticipates the PlayZone will offer affordable, high-quality outdoor sports and leisure activities, aligning with the council's commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles.
The Football Foundation's PlayZone program specifically targets inequalities by providing facilities for communities with higher deprivation levels and individuals with disabilities or long-term illnesses. Additionally, plans are underway for another PlayZone at East Park, intended to replace a disused facility.
