Neighbours have mounted a second campaign against plans for a sports court near their homes.
People living in the Longsands area of Fulwood have previously complained about youth nuisance caused by teenagers with nothing to do.
But attempts to build a ball court off Anderton's Way have been met with opposition from residents, with more than 100 signing a petition.
They are concerned about noise, crime, anti-social behaviour, loss of privacy and parking problems.
Most of the 103 objections are from people living in Neapsands Close, Whinsands Close and Redsands Drive, the roads closest to the proposed sporting facility.
The all-weather court would be surrounded by a three-metre high metal fence with a nine-metre high floodlight in each corner which would be switched off between 9pm and 8am.
The court would be free to use and open to the public at all times, except when pre-arranged coaching sessions, such as Streetwise Soccer, were taking place.
Similar plans were withdrawn last year after a 50-name petition was submitted at the 11th hour.
Parks bosses at Preston Council say the court would be the first stage of the development of a "village green" next to the Millennium Hall, part of a masterplan drawn up by the Friends of Longsands Green.
A report to members of Preston Council's planning committee, which will debate the plans on Monday December 1, says: "Youths in this area currently play football on the car parks for the supermarket and the Millennium Hall on a regular basis.
"By providing them with an area where they can legitimately play football, it is hoped to reduce the youth nuisance problems currently being experienced by the residents and so improve perceptions of public safety in the area."
The Longsands Community Association surveyed 1,350 homes, asking for people's views on the future development of the site.
A total of 168 people replied and 149 households were in favour of improvements to the recreational facilities, with 112 supporting the ball court.
The results showed 29 were against the idea of a ball court and 26 were undecided.
