After two years of construction, a multi-million pound leisure centre is preparing to open its doors for the first time later this month. Over the next two weeks, the final touches will be added to Bingham Arena Leisure Centre ahead of its launch on Monday, February 20.
The £13m site run by Lex Leisure is located on Chapel Lane, Bingham, and will offer a range of facilities to the community. One of the main features of the leisure centre is the swimming area, which features a 23m by 25m pool that reaches 2m in depth, as well as a 7m by 13m learners pool and enough space for 330 spectators.
Due to the large viewing capacity, the leisure centre will be one of the first locations locally that can hold large swimming competitions and events. This will also allow new opportunities for the area, such as swim instructors who are qualified to teach to a Swim England standard.
