The new pool changing facilities are now open!

The highly anticipated refurbished changing rooms at West Park Leisure Centre are now fully open! The flumes will also be operational during evening casual swimming sessions through the week and again during casual swimming sessions at the weekend. The changing rooms have been refurbished to include under floor warming, individual changing and shower cubicle and improved disabled facilities and access.

Erewash Borough Council announced the major refurbishment project for the pool changing facilities earlier this year after successfully winning a £414,000 cash windfall from Sport England. The project has been given a £101,000 ‘top-up’ by the Council to bring the total investment to £557,000. The makeover is the latest investment by the Council to maintain and boost facilities for West Park’s customers and will mean the centre has seen over £1m of improvements over the last year.

The refurbishment will improve the experience for visitors to West Park and will greatly improve accessibility for disabled people, older people and families with young children. Erewash Borough Council was able to make a funding bid to Sport England for a pool improvement project after it signed up for the national Free Swimming Initiative for those aged 16 and under or 60 and over.
