Dunfermline's Carnegie Leisure Centre is to reopen its doors to the public on 26 November following the completion of a £17m redevelopment undertaken by Fife Council.

The new-look complex, which had been due to open 10 months ago, will be operated by Fife Sports and Leisure Trust on behalf of the local authority.

Internal and external renovations have been carried out at the leisure centre, which will feature a 25m, six-lane deck-level swimming pool with a moveable floor.

A new health suite with steamroom, sauna and spa bath; an 80-station gym; and three aerobic studios will also be on offer, in addition to a sports hall with a new timber sprung floor.

The completion of the Carnegie Leisure Centre overhaul is the first of three planned upgrades to be carried out as part of Fife Council's £55m investment in local leisure provision.

Ed Watson, chief executive of Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: "The trust is looking forward to delivering a full programme of sports and fitness activities to local communities.

"The refurbished Carnegie Leisure Centre will offer accessible and affordable leisure opportunities, for people of all ages and fitness levels, with top-of-the-range facilities and highly-qualified staff."
