The first new leisure centre to be built in Dudley in more than 30 years opened in January 2022. The centre is named in honour of the borough’s most famous sporting son, former England and Manchester United player, Duncan Edwards, who was born and raised in the town.
During the development ISG, the appointed construction team, received outstanding marks as part of the Considerate Constructors Scheme for their practices.
Working in partnership with the council, we created a vibrant modern hub with a range of innovative activities for residents to enjoy.
The new centre includes a 25 metre 8-lane swimming pool, teaching pool with spectator provision, sauna, 4-court sports hall, 100 station fitness suite, two group exercise studios, soft play area with catering facilities and party room and a café.
The centre also brings innovation with the addition of an immersive cycle studio and power assisted exercise studio.
