The most deprived communities in England will be able to apply for a slice of the remaining £31.6m set aside to transform youth facilities across the country.
Grants ranging between £1m and £5m will be on offer to applicants who must have worked with young people in their designs.
Announcing the bid today, outgoing children's minister Beverley Hughes, said: "Giving access to safe places for young people to go to will help tackle antisocial behaviour and provide all young people the opportunity to re-engage with their communities."
Last month, CYP Now reported that the Big Lottery Fund, which manages the Myplace fund, has tightened the rules for the final round.
