More than £8m of investment has been announced for the city’s major leisure and sporting facilities. Larger gyms, 3G pitch replacements, brand new soft play areas and cafes are among the new features planned.
The improvements are part of a new 15-year deal between Bristol City Council and Everyone Active. The investment from the council is in addition to Everyone Active utilising £4.7m of their own funds over the course of the contract.
The new contract will see Everyone Active continue to manage Horfield Leisure Centre, Bristol South Swimming Pool, Henbury Leisure Centre, Easton Leisure Centre and St Pauls Community Sports Academy. Extensive refurbishment work will take place throughout the next three years at all sites.
