Clipstone and Vicar Water regeneration

For years, we have been working hard to reimagine the possibilities at Clipstone. The allocation of this funding enables us to explore an exciting new chapter known as Vicar Water Country Park (Phase 3).

Phase 3 – Vicar Water Country Park

The aim of phase 3 is to:

  • enhance and complement the existing plans proposed through the new industrial estate (Phase 1) and enhanced Sports Hub and Facilities (Phase 2) – further details on these phases are located below
  • create a new Welcome Entrance and arrival area
  • create an extended and updated Visitor’s Centre with additional accessible play equipment
  • provide space to deliver education services for both the Park Ranger service and Rumbles Cafe
  • create facilities to provide hands-on experience and skillsets

Phase 3 timescales

Early 2027 – finalise designs

Summer 2027 – start on site

Early 2028 – completion and open for the public to use

Other phases of development 

Vicar Water Country Park (Phase 3), sits alongside the new industrial estate (Phase 1) and enhanced Sports Hub and Facilities (Phase 2).

Phase 1

A new, energy efficient and sustainable industrial estate. The scheme is being developed to not only achieve sustainability standards and Biodiversity Net Gain, but also has, at the heart of its development, long-term lower running costs than the market average.  

Phase 2

A relocated and enhanced Sports Pavilion. Additional facilities will include a new 3G pitch, football pitches, cricket field and nets, and an ability to grow and welcome more teams including male, female, youth and disabled.
