Huge overhaul at Chorley's leisure centre - new dance studio, showers and children's water play area

The centre in Water Street - which was bailed out by Chorley Borough Council last year - now has a much brighter future with a range of substantial upgrades and expansions aimed at enhancing the facilities and experience for all visitors.

What’s happening?

The refurbishment will feature a full and extensive upgrade to the gym facilities, including an expansion to create larger, more flexible spaces for weight training, resistance training, and a new dance studio. The larger floor space and mezzanine area will accommodate state-of-the-art equipment, providing members with a top-tier fitness experience.

Visitors will also benefit from a complete refurbishment of the dry side changing rooms, including the showering facilities and toilets.

A new poolside walkway will be constructed to allow for additional swimming lessons, supporting the community’s growing demand. Furthermore, the family pool will see the introduction of new children’s water play areas.

The project will be funded by Chorley Council, with a contribution provided by the Sport England Swimming Support Fund. The Post asked for a timeframe for the work and cost, but the council were unable to provide it. However, the range and type of works will undoubtedly push it into six-if not seven figures.

How you can get involved

Jennifer Mullin, Director of Communities and Leisure at Chorley Council said: “We’re delighted to be able to let people know about the exciting range of improvements and enhancements set for All Seasons. We know how important it is for people to have quality leisure services locally and we’ve already invested in the centre with recent upgrades to the group exercise studios. These new improvements will ensure that All Seasons continues to be a high-class facility in Chorley.

“We are keen to involve our customers and residents in this process and will be producing a survey to find out what they would like to see in the children’s water play areas. We’ll be sharing more information on the ways people can get involved soon.”

 Solar panels will also be installed in line with the council’s commitment to sustainability. This initiative will help reduce the centre’s carbon footprint and make its operations eco-friendlier.

All Seasons Leisure Centre has recently seen extensions and improvements to the group exercise studios. The ground floor studio, nearing completion, will become the hub for spin classes, while the first-floor studio has been extended to accommodate a variety of group fitness classes.
