Disruption Timeline | Staying Active With Us | Project Works | Brand-New Gym
A major refurbishment and carbon-cutting makeover of Wellington Sports Centre has begun.
The £3.6 million project will consist of a range of building works that should deliver carbon savings of nearly 220 tonnes per year. Plus, we will also be investing in the gym, to bring you a brand-new 60-station state-of-the-art facility.
Construction work is expected to last around ten months. Although the centre will not close entirely, there will be unavoidable disruption until the project completes next summer. See the full timeline below. Please note that these dates are subject to change.
Disruption Timeline
- Main Entrance & Reception – Starting from the middle of July a temporary main entrance and reception will be found at the door, which is located opposite the bowls club. This will be in place for approximately three weeks.
- Gym – The brand-new gym is now open.
- Swimming Pool & Health Suite – Will be closed between 13th November 2023 – early September 2024*. We will be in touch during August to discuss your individual swimming lesson with Everyone Active.
