Grove Park Youth Club
Works to expand Watergate School and provide a new adventure playground and multi-use games area on the Dumps site started on Monday 14 April, with the removal of the old adventure play equipment scheduled to start on Tuesday 22 April.
As part of this project, a new and improved adventure play facility will be provided, along with a high-quality multi-use games area and adjacent natural play space.
The project is expected to reach completion in late spring 2026, with play facilities available for the summer holidays and school facilities open for the start of the autumn term. Throughout the works, every effort will be made to minimise disruption to the school and local community, and youth service provision will continue onsite for as long as feasibly possible.
The club has a wide variety of activities, ranging from sports and games to creative media and workshops.
The Trust works with delivery partners Sporting Way and delivers directly to youth club services. Everything is free but membership is required.
GPYC BPT run Grove Park Youth Club in Grove Park. It saved the purpose-built youth club from demolition after a community campaign supporting youth provision on this site. The youth club reopened in 2021 and offers free access to youth services.
