First pictures show inside of £13.5m Harrogate leisure centre refurbishment
The first pictures from inside the refurbished Harrogate Hydro have been revealed.
The facility has been closed since April last year as part of a £13.5 million refurbishment project.
It will reopen in two weeks time under the new name Harrogate Leisure and Wellness Centre.
Pictures posted on social media by Natalie McGuire, director of business development at Brimhams Active, which runs the facility on behalf of North Yorkshire Council, show how the centre will look.
The refurbishment includes a 400 square metre fitness centre, a new sauna and steam suite, improved reception and café, as well an overhaul of the existing gym, spin, leisure and swimming facilities.
The new diving area.
The leisure centre in Jennyfields closed for what was supposed to be a nine-month refurbishment costing £11.9 million.
But January’s scheduled re-opening did not happen. In May, North Yorkshire Council said the cost of the scheme had risen to £13.5 million and customers would be welcomed back in August.
The centre is now set to open on September 4.
