Residents in Halesowen, West Midlands are enjoying a completely re-invented leisure experience at the town’s leisure centre thanks to a major upgrade of its leisure centre
The Dudley Council development, delivered by Alliance Leisure through the UK Leisure Framework, has seen Halesowen Leisure Centre transformed into a vibrant activity hub with a new mix of facilities that caters for everyone.
The extensive project was carried out in two phases. The first began in February 2021 which saw the conversion of the former learner pool and changing rooms to a new reception area, café and large adventure play area perfect for families.
Further space conversion saw a new wellness suite, complete with a power assisted ‘gym’ to encourage engagement from older adults and those new to exercise, along with an extension of the existing gym and studio refurbishment.
Outside, the building’s façade was replaced and landscaping works carried out to improve the overall visual appeal and entrance. This phase completed in December last year.
Phase two followed immediately and completed recently. This included the reconfiguration of the pool area to create a 25-metre main pool and 12.5 mere learner pool supported by a new changing village.
All facilities cater for those with accessibility issues, creating opportunities for use by all members of the community.
