Preston councillors approved a two-storey sports and community hub to tackle health inequalities.
The hub will be open to all sections of the Preston community.
Facilities include a football pitch, a multi-purpose court, and gendered halls that can join to form a unisex space.
The site is located in an area identified among England’s most deprived neighbourhoods.
The project aims to improve life expectancy, mental health, and obesity metrics in the community.
Councillor Peter Kelly called the area 'in dire need of sports facilities'.
The scheme includes a Janazah Room for post-death prayers for the Muslim community.
Plans were announced in November and backed unanimously by the committee.
Nine letters of support were received for the project.
The hub will sit opposite a mosque and educational centre and is described as community-led.
