The new 50,000 sq ft leisure centre creates a new building that is distinctive, with exceptional design quality. It will be accessible, inclusive and welcoming to all, reflecting Halton’s key policy drivers and not excluding any section of the town’s population and providing outstanding facilities that enhance the lives of its local residents. The dementia-friendly centre will be capable of supporting sport, health and well-being, enabling the inactive to become active and more residents to fulfil their potential by participating in sport and physical activity helping all to live happier and healthy lives.

The complex will replace Kingsway Leisure Centre at Moor Lane and will include a 25m x 6-lane swimming pool with a learner pool, 100-station gym and a four-court sports hall. In addition, it will have both a spinning and exercise studio, squash court, complementary facilities, soft play area, health consultation rooms and a café/social space. The centre has been designed to embed sustainability credentials to be environmentally friendly with lower carbon emissions and reduced energy costs.
