Port Vale FC have revealed that £2.3m of funding has been secured for the club’s ambitious Vale Park campus project.
According to the club’s press release:
The project marks a significant milestone in the club’s long-term community facilities strategy and commitment to local regeneration, health, education and community development.
This ambitious redevelopment aims to reclaim and revitalise the green space surrounding Vale Park Stadium, laying the foundation for a multi-use area for the local community to connect, creating a positive environment for the people of Burslem and Stoke-on-Trent.
The project will deliver a wide range of new and inclusive community facilities, including the redevelopment of two youth football pitches for boys and girls; a multi-use games area (MUGA) suitable for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), padel courts, walking trails, and improved CCTV, lighting and signage.
The plans also include the creation of a new community hub building that will be operated by Port Vale Foundation to deliver a range of their community activities for people of all ages and abilities, supporting wellbeing, education and connection.
A key part of the plan is the comprehensive ecological improvements and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) that will be put in place to ensure the project exceeds green standards to protect the environment.
