We are delighted to announce that we have submitted a full planning application for a new phase of improvements at Foundation Park.The proposals include: 

• A brand-new covered multi-sports facility

• An extended car park to improve accessibility

• The relocation of the SBC compound area

Since opening in 2019, Foundation Park has become a thriving community hub, welcoming thousands of people from across Swindon and the surrounding areas. The facilities have been a tremendous success, providing opportunities for sport, recreation, health and wellbeing all year round.

With demand for the site continuing to grow and the facilities operating at full capacity for much of the year, these proposed developments would enable us to meet increasing community needs while expanding the range of activities and programmes we can offer.

Jon Holloway, Director of Community, said:“Since Foundation Park was built in 2019, the community facilities have been a resounding success, serving thousands of people across Swindon and the surrounding areas. With the facility operating at full capacity for much of the year, we have been developing proposals for a new covered multi-sports pitch.”

“High-quality indoor facilities are becoming increasingly important, not only during the wet winter months but also during periods of extreme weather. This summer’s heatwaves demonstrated first-hand the value of having accessible indoor spaces where participants can continue to enjoy sport and physical activity safely and comfortably.”

“The additional space outlined in our plans would enable the Foundation to extend its reach, increase participation opportunities, and create an even greater positive impact for the local community for years to come.”

We look forward to sharing further updates as the planning process progresses and thank everyone who continues to support the growth and development of Foundation Park.
