Opening date for £17.5m Knaresborough leisure centre revealed
Knaresborough’s new £17.5 million leisure and wellness centre will open on December 11.
The centre includes a six-lane 25-metre pool, a leisure pool with flume and a 60-station fitness suite.
There is also a studio for group fitness classes, a bespoke group cycling studio, sauna and steam rooms, a café and an outdoor children’s play area.
The centre has been developed next to the old Knaresborough Pool, which was built in 1990 and last refurbished 20 years ago.

The project is part of a wider £47.9 million investment in leisure provision, including the recently completed refurbishment of Harrogate Leisure and Wellness Centre and the Jack Laugher Leisure and Wellness Centre in Ripon.
All the centres are managed day-to-day by Brimhams Active, the council’s health and wellbeing company.
