New sports facility takes shape (PR 1502)
A multi-million pound leisure facility in Northolt is taking shape now the swimming pools are being filled and tested as Ealing Council prepares for its grand opening in the New Year.
Northolt Leisure Centre replaces the decrepit Swimarama, in Eastcote Lane North, and is set to be a remarkable state-of-the-art facility for people to enjoy.
The old centre closed at the end of October 2007 and demolition began soon after. It is now just months away from being transformed into a bright and spacious new community facility.
The new centre will include:
-
8-lane, 25-metre competition pool
-
12 x 16 metre learner pool
-
dance studio
-
gym with 120 - 140 fitness stations
-
additional community hall for the Northolt area
-
additional library for the Northolt area
-
café with internet facilities
-
a police safer neighbourhood ward base
Council Leader, Councillor Jason Stacey, said: “This is an
exciting development that is really taking shape now. Last time I
visited the site it was just a big, flat, open muddy space and in
just a short time the plans have come a long way. I’ve walked round
the building and can now start to picture it being used and filled
with people enjoying a wide range of activities.”
