£44m leisure complex planned for Plymouth
Plymouth City Council has announced plans for a £44m leisure complex, which would represent the city’s largest ever investment in leisure facilities.
Plans for the Life Centre, which would be situated in Central Park, feature a full size ice rink and spectator area; a 50m swimming pool; a diving pool; a leisure pool; indoor bowling rinks; a sports hall; a fitness suite and multi-purpose studio space.
Vivien Pengelly, leader of the council, said: “The Life Centre has been a long time in the planning and we are delighted to finally see this vision becoming a reality.
“This is the biggest investment in leisure this city has ever seen and the Life Centre will be one of the best facilities of its kind in the country – a regional centre of excellence for swimming and diving, a top training venue and a citywide hub of sports, leisure and healthy activities for people of all ages.”
If the project gets planning permission, it will go out to tender in the New Year and contractors are expected to be appointed in the autumn. It is hoped that the complex will be opened at the beginning of 2011.
