Derby PlayZones consultation

Example picture of how a PlayZone could look.Derby City Council is working in partnership with the Football Foundation on the new PlayZone Programme.

Using investment from the Premier League, The FA and the Government through Sport England, the PlayZones Programme aims to engage with local communities across the country to create outstanding sports and activity spaces and tackle inequalities in participation.

This is an exciting new project renovating old Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs) into PlayZones and building new PlayZones from scratch. This project aims to tackle inequalities in physical activity and provide access to high-quality community facilities in local, accessible spaces.

Update

We recently consulted to find out how people felt about these proposals and learn what could be considered to make it work for local areas. Thank you to every one that gave their feedback.

The project teams are now reviewing the results of the consultations. Once the project teams have completed their review, we will update you on our next steps. This is expected to be in early April and the update will be posted on Let's Talk Derby. If you would like to read the Consultation reports please click on the following links:
