New £28m Holt Park Active wellbeing centre opens
The multi-million pound wellbeing centre Holt Park Active, which is based on Holtdale Approach in Leeds has opened to the public.
The centre offers a range of flexible spaces for activities and support services that suit people of all ages.
It features a 70-station Bodyline gym, 25m pool, hydrotherapy and learning pools, dance studio, café, garden, sports hall, multi-activity rooms, Changing Places facility and meeting / training areas.
The facility hosts activities including cycling, kettlebell sessions, Tai-Chi and Pilates as well as a bouncy castle.
Aiming to encourage residents of all ages to lead an active lifestyle, the centre will also host a range of activities for older people and those with physical or learning disabilities.
The project to build the new centre has been overseen by Leeds City Council, with funding from the Department of Health through the Private Finance Initiative
The facility replaces the Holt Park Leisure Centre on Holt Road, which closed last December after operating for 36 years.
Councillor Lucinda Yeadon, Leeds City Council’s executive member for Leisure, said: “Having watched the building take shape over the past year, it’s so exciting knowing that Holt Park Active will be opening to the public this weekend. I’m sure this fantastic new facility will quickly become a hub for the whole community as well as something that the city can be genuinely proud of.
“The centre is one of the biggest investments in sports and leisure in Leeds for the last 30 years and will help a huge number of people to live healthy, active lifestyles.”
