£1m refurbishment for Ferndown Leisure Centre
Ferndown Leisure Centre in Dorset has recently benefited from a £1m refurbishment, thanks to an investment by Dorset County Council.
Four squash courts have been transformed into a 4,000sq m (43,000sq ft), 65-station fitness suite and dance studio, while other improvements include the upgrade of the wetside changing rooms, a new reception area and a revamp of a further four squash courts.
Existing facilities at the site, which is operated by DC Leisure, include a 25m swimming pool, a five court sports hall and six outdoor tennis courts.
A temporary gym, set up for the centre’s 1,000 members during the refurbishments, has now been converted into a 15-station school gym, solely for the use of Ferndown Upper School.
In Hampshire, a £90,000 upgrade – funded by DC Leisure, East Hants District Council and the Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) – has been completed at Millchase Leisure Centre.
The new 40-station gym – supplied by Technogym and Precor – achieved IFI accreditation.
