Harlow Leisurezone, the £25 million community leisure centre is set to open on Wednesday 23 June 2010.
The sports and leisure facility has been built as part of the £50 million Harlow Gateway project which is providing homes, leisure and lifestyle opportunities for Harlow people.
Leisurezone will deliver sports, recreation, fitness and learning facilities in the heart of the town – including modern sports hall, indoor tennis centre, two swimming pools, a gym and fitness studios, along with an interactive science centre for 'Science Alive'.
Leisurezone is the jewel in the crown of the Harlow Gateway project. It has succeeded through the passion, dedication and partnership working that marks Harlow as a special place.
Leisurezone will provide the town with its first combined 'wet and dry' leisure centre, setting new standards for accessible, high-quality and integrated sports and leisure service provision in the region.
"Leisurezone, the new, state-of-the-art community leisure centre, is the jewel in the crown of the Gateway Project, Harlow's biggest regeneration project for many years. It puts Harlow back at the forefront of sporting provision in the region and is a tremendous asset to Harlow and the wider community," said Andrew Johnson, Leader of Harlow Council.
Naisha Polaine, Head of Area for the HCA in the East of England, said: '"he Harlow Gateway is a great regeneration project that combines affordable and open market homes, community facilities and infrastructure. The Leisurezone opening marks a real milestone in the project's life, and we are delighted to see this facility come to fruition."
