Construction has now started on Halifax’s new leisure centre.
Preparation works over recent months have included site surveys and partial demolition of the former North Bridge Leisure Centre. Contractor Tilbury Douglas has now begun the main build phase, with a large piling rig on site to create the building’s foundations.
The new facility will include:
• a 120-station fitness suite, multi-use studios and a spinning studio,
• an eight-court sports hall,
• a 25m six-lane swimming pool with spectator seating, plus a learner pool,
• a Changing Places facility,
• wellbeing spaces,
• a soft play and an adventure area for children, and
• a café and community area.
