Waterside Shared Village

Closed

The Waterside Shared Village (WSV) will result in the creation of a ‘transformative shared space’ which is iconic in nature, not for its design, but the fact that it will result in two interface communities coming together to develop a shared community space, rather than duplicate facilities within their respective areas. It is intended that the WSV will act as an exemplar of good relations and peace and reconciliation development across the region. The proposed project will result in a multi-faceted shared space within the Waterside area of Derry City incorporating a central community hub building, surrounded by a sports complex. The WSV will encompass a central community hub comprising: - A community / sports hall / which can be transformed into four meeting/ training rooms; - A dedicated community meeting room and youth zone; - A community kitchen; - A community office and reception area; and - A suite of sports changing rooms. The area surrounding the community hub will comprise the following sports facilities: - 3G pitch; - Grass pitch; - Cricket training area; - Tennis courts (which can be used as events space with an inflatable casing); and - A community garden.
