About the centre
The leisure centre project benefits from a £20 million government Levelling Up Fund grant and offers residents a range of new, exciting and modern sports facilities and community amenities within the Kingsland Campus, entrance from Parkside Drive.
The new, two-storey, leisure and community hub includes:
- a 25-metre eight-lane main pool
- a learner pool with a movable floor to raise or lower the depth for swimming lessons and classes
- a separate shallow pool for very young children
- a huge fitness suite with 120 gym stations and a large free weights area
- an immersive experience group cycle studio
- fitness and wellness studios offering a range of classes and activities
- 2 squash courts
To complement the sports facilities, the building has a spacious foyer and reception area, with a large café open for centre users and the public, community spaces and Changing Places facilities for disabled visitors.
Outside there's a children’s play area available for visitors and the community, and a fitness trail set amongst the landscaped areas which surround the centre. A large 238-space car park includes electric vehicle charging points, motorcycle parking, accessible parking bays and cycle parking. Improved walking and cycling routes connect the building to other parts of the Kingsland Campus and the local community.
