Fit for the future
We’re improving your leisure centres. A once in a generation investment by South Ribble Borough Council
South Ribble Leisure Centres are undergoing a multimillion-pound improvements project, which will make greener, more energy efficient leisure centres, and will give them long-needed modernisation and upgrades.
The first stage, which is now almost complete, has been the decarbonisation and infrastructure phase, which has involved huge improvements to the infrastructure that keeps the centres operational and energy efficient.
The next phase is modernisation and improvements across all four sites. We are dedicated to providing you with high-quality leisure centres at incredible value locally and this is the start of an incredibly exciting period of improvements for the leisure centres, allowing for modernisation and energy efficiency improvements which will enhance your user experience.
Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding while the work takes place.
