A New Community Sports Hub
In 2017, The Triangle Leisure Centre saw the first stage of this investment. This included a £2.2m refit to provide a new gym, climbing wall, additional sports studio and café to bolster its existing facilities. This comes alongside a refurbishment to the Leisure Pool in Summer 2018. The plans have supported the St Paul’s Catholic College sports facilities which are available for local sports teams to hire.
Construction is also underway for a new Centre for Outdoor Sport. Situated on an 8.6-hectare block of land within the Brookleigh development, the Centre for Outdoor Sport will provide first-class facilities for the district. The sports mix, refined over three years through extensive engagement, consultation and data analysis, will complement the district's existing sports infrastructure, offering a variety of sports like football, rugby, and cricket.
