A hierarchy of facilities from outdoor play areas, community halls and through to the replacement of the existing leisure centre were identified. The need for greater open space, confirmed by a subsequent PPG17 study and the need for new leisure facilities was developed into an exciting new public park.
The design incorporates the following facilities:
- 25m swimming pool
- Sports hall
- Squash courts
- Health and fitness
- Dance studio
- Community police office
- Education/training rooms
- Café
- Administration
- Athletics track
- Synthetic turf pitch
- External grass pitches
The building has been designed to incorporate sustainable design principles including good levels of natural light, chp, natural ventilation where possible and high levels of thermal insulation.
