RESIDENTS will be able to keep active and achieve their fitness goals at a new gym set to open later this year at Monks Hill Sports Centre.
Work is set to begin to upgrade the community centre room and build a 30-station gym at the centre in Selsdon, South Croydon. The project has received £140,000 of investment from the council’s capital budget, funding ringfenced to make lasting improvements to the borough’s facilities.
The new facility will be open to the public, along with the other sports rooms and pitches at the dual-use centre, which is shared with The Quest Academy.
Managed by the council’s leisure provider GLL, the fitness suite will enhance the existing facilities at Monks Hill, which include an exercise studio, badminton courts, a floodlit full size synthetic turf pitch and outside basketball court.
