Councillor Portia Mwangangye, Cabinet Member of Leisure, Parks and Young People, has toured the new state-of-the-art Canada Water Leisure Centre to see the progress being made ahead of its opening to the public in 2025. 

The new Canada Water Leisure Centre will open its doors just under a year’s time, replacing the Seven Islands Leisure Centre. The new facility will be bigger and fitted with a variety of modern equipment. It will have an eight-lane swimming pool (the biggest in the borough), separate learner pool, sports courts, spin, yoga and dance studios and a 150+ station gym. 

Designed with inclusivity in mind, the centre will welcome people of all ages, interests and abilities. Trained staff will be on hand to support those with additional needs. The centre will also create job opportunities for local people, with various staffing roles to become available.
