Part of St Pauls Community Sports Academy in Bristol will partially close from May 2 next week for refurbishment. The gym will close but the sports hall, group fitness studio and outdoor courts will be unaffected by the works and will remain open as normal.
The work is expected to take just over six weeks, with the gym on Newfoundland Road set to reopen on June 16. The extension and modernisation of the St Pauls sports facility comes as part of an £8 million investment across five Everyone Active leisure centres in Bristol.
Everyone Active is investing £4.7m and the remainder is Bristol City Council funded. Extensive refurbishment work is set to take place over the course of the next three years with Horfield, Bristol South, Henbury and Easton Leisure Centre all on the list for a facelift with plans for a new soft play facility in Easton.
