A ‘world class’ £8.4m Youth Zone centre is set to open in Bury or Radcliffe in 2025.
Bury Council is developing a partnership with the charity OnSide to develop a Youth Zone, providing facilities and activities for young people.Typically, Youth Zone buildings include a large open recreation area, a four-court sports hall, a fitness suite with boxing and martial arts facilities, a climbing wall, dance and performing arts studio, arts and crafts areas, music, film and multi-media studios and outdoor kick pitches.
The council said cost of the Youth Zone was estimated at £8.4m, half funded by the private sector through OnSide with the rest funded by grant or capital contribution from Bury Council. They said they will seek part of these costs from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
