Harrogate Leisure Centre reopens following multi-million pound investment
The Harrogate Hydro reopened its doors this week having been transformed into the Harrogate Leisure and Wellbeing Centre, thanks to a £13.5 million major refurbishment by North Yorkshire Council. The facility is operated by Brimhams Active.
The project has been delivered by Alliance Leisure, working with ISG Construction, Axiom Project Services and GT3 architects through the UK Leisure Framework, managed by Denbighshire Leisure Limited (DLL).
New facilities include a new 400sqm fitness suite, a Les Mills immersive cycle studio, a sauna and steam suite, plus a reconfigured reception and café.
Works have also included extending the building’s footprint and substantial reimagining throughout to create a bright, modern offering more in keeping with the needs of today’s vibrant and diverse community.
Existing pool and leisure facilities have been completely overhauled. In the pool, a new diving structure has been installed so the centre can continue to support up and coming diving talent in the way that it has done for Olympians, such as Jack Laugher MBE and Oliver Dingley.
Outside, the building has been remodelled to complement the surrounding environment with landscaping, a reconfigured car park, bicycle storage and electric vehicle charging points.
