Cardiff Council have revealed plans to upgrade Pentwyn Leisure Centre after cost pressures have led to the centre being closed since March 2020. After backlash from the community in Pentwyn seeking the leisure centre to be re-opened, Cardiff Council have unveiled their plans to renovate the centre. The upgrade includes:
- A new 20m x 8m pool, heated by a ground source heat pump.
- A new cafeteria.
- A new fitness gym on the ground floor.
- A new full-sized 3G pitch and mini pitch.
- A refurbished family-changing facility.
- A new hall and external space which could be leased to a third partner - potentially to create an area for padel tennis on site.
- Roof mounted solar panels
The proposal will be considered by Cardiff Council's Cabinet on Thursday, June 22. If plans are confirmed, work is expected to take place as early as autumn this year. Some works, including pitches, the fitness centre and changing rooms, could be completed in early 2024.
