work is set to start soon on a new community centre at Daisy Hill, Westhoughton.
Council leisure chiefs are currently finalising details of the £141,000 scheme.
They are hoping to start work in March and have the project completed by September.
The scheme has been funded by cash which developers who have built houses in the area have given to Bolton Council.
The local authority has made it a condition of planning permission that builders provide a sum for "recreational use". But instead of building playgrounds on each estate, the decision was made to add all the money together to build a community centre.
John Shepley, Bolton's deputy director of leisure services, said: "This is what the people of the area wanted and it should be a very well-used facility.
"The idea is for it to be used for playgroups and organisations like brownies and scouts."
