Construction Begins on £30 million Huntingdon Sport and Health Hub

Alliance Leisure celebrates works getting underway on the delivery of a £30 million Sport and Health Hub in Huntingdon.

The development will transform facilities at One Leisure Huntingdon, creating a modern sport, fitness and wellbeing destination designed to support more people to be active. Plans include a 3G football pitch, padel and pickleball courts, upgraded health and fitness spaces, expanded swimming provision and improved accessibility across the leisure facilities.

The project is being delivered by Alliance Leisure, through the UK Leisure Framework, owned and managed by Denbighshire Leisure (DLL) in partnership with Huntingdonshire District Council. Investment is set to create new opportunities for local residents, schools and sports clubs, while strengthening the role of public leisure in supporting community health and wellbeing.

The council has allocated £10.3 million from Community Infrastructure Levy funding to support the development. The wider redevelopment is also expected to deliver more than £1.6 million in wellbeing benefits by encouraging more young people to become active.

Steve Rose, Delivery Manager, Alliance Leisure, comments:

Crucially, the development is shaped around the needs of the local community. By investing in facilities that reflect how residents want and need to be active, the hub will create more opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to participate in sport, improve their health and wellbeing, and make the most of their local leisure provision.

Through the UK Leisure Framework we have brought together a specialist team of leisure development partners to work alongside Huntingdonshire District Council, combining the skills and experience needed to turn its vision into reality that will serve the community for many years to come.
