Fareham Park
Fareham Park is undergoing exciting improvements to create a more welcoming, accessible and enjoyable space for everyone
We have developed a programme of improvements to transform the community and leisure facilities next to Henry Cort Drive. This project area is known as Fareham Park following a popular public vote.
The Vision
With the help of the community, we have developed a vision for new improved community and leisure facilities for this area 
(2 MB), able to respond to needs for locally-based activities, and support the work of our crucial local organisations.
Project Phases
The Project is being delivered in 3 Phases.
- Phase 1, the development of inspirational play facilities that meet the needs of all ages and abilities, has been completed.
- Phase 2, current phase of work which focuses on designing and building the new community centre
and petanque terrain. This is a very complicated process, involving a lot of thought around car parking, drainage and ecological improvements. We have appointed a Design and Construction specialist to bring our plans to life and expect the works to be completed by Spring 2028. - Phase 3 will see the ground that housed the existing community centre being re-purposed for affordable housing. This will only happen once the new community facilities are completed and will be subject to Planning processes.
Funding for the project
£700,000 from the Government's UK Shared Prosperity fund was allocated to help deliver the Masterplan and Phase 1 of this project.
We are exploring options for more external funding to be able to provide the community centre and facilities and have secured a bid writer to help us do this.
