It has been agreed by the Town Council to provide a MUGA on half of the tarmac area, previously used as tennis courts at the park.
The Town Council is to provide half of the funding and an application is to be made to Durham County Council for the other half of the funds needed, which are available from a previous planning Section 106 agreement.
If the funding bid is successful, it is hoped the MUGA will be installed before the end of this year.
