A multi-use games area (MUGA) in Sileby is being redeveloped after being supported through the Government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
The MUGA on Sileby Memorial Park is being extended to provide an improved facility which can be used for a range of activities by residents of all ages. The work is part of a wider project to regenerate Sileby Memorial Park and Pavilion creating opportunities for sport, activities and events.
Sileby Parish Council is leading the project and the new MUGA is expected to be completed this autumn.
The project is receiving almost £500,000 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is one of 10 projects included within the Future Charnwood UK Shared Prosperity Fund Investment Plan.
Charnwood Council has been allocated around £4 million from the fund to invest in communities, support local businesses and improve skills.
In addition, the funding will help improve the park's main entrance by making it more accessible and safer for pedestrians. A circular footpath is also being created around the park for walkers and a Parkour facility will be introduced.
The new and improved MUGA will remain in the same location on the memorial park and will be available to use for basketball, football, cricket and a range of activities.
