Plymouth Argyle's Foulston Park community hub secures £2.2m
A community sports hub at Plymouth Argyle's Foulston Park has secured a £2.24m grant. The Brickfields site in Devonport is being redeveloped into a sporting centre of excellence and asset for the city.
The new state-of-the-art facility will include a gym, fitness rooms, café, soft play area, esports and youth zones, along with health and support services. A 3G pitch - measuring 112m x 68m - will accommodate football and rugby activities, beside a new athletics track.
The Argyle Community Trusthas procured the funding from the Premier League, The FA, and the Government’s Football Foundation, marking it as one of the charity's most substantial investments across the South West. The investment is earmarked for the construction of the new hub as well as broader enhancements to Foulston Park.
Other developments funded as part of the package include a Football Foundation PlayZone and upgraded changing facilities. Additionally, the site will host Plymouth Argyle Youth Academy and Plymouth Argyle Women, with the construction process already in progress.
