More than £3m is set to be made available for community projects in Eastfield as part of a renewed town investment plan.
The money has been left over from the sale of land at Middle Deepdale to Keepmoat Homes, by the now defunct Scarborough Borough Council.
North Yorkshire Council is expected to approve plans to give community groups 15 months to submit a bid for their project.
Among the proposals that could benefit from the scheme are efforts to convert the former Overdale School site into a skate park and community hub.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the proceeds from the land sale in 2015 were earmarked to fund regeneration activity in Eastfield.
At the top of the list is the Phoenix Park development, also known as the Eastfield Community Park and the associated plans for the former Overdale School site.
Proposed features include a skate park, pump track, community building, walking trails, natural play areas, community gardens, seating, and landscaping designed to support biodiversity and outdoor recreation.
The park aims to become a central hub for community events, health and wellbeing activities, and environmental education.
According to a council report, the project is fully costed at £2.4m.
Other proposals include the Gateway Project for signage and public realm improvements, local play area upgrades, the provision of new or improved community facilities and enhancements to The Dell green space.
The report notes a proposed “fallback clause” that would allow the council to reallocate funds if no plan materialises by March 2027.
