The new facility is located at the former Oldham Batteries site, a brownfield land in the heart of Denton. The project is expected to complete in spring 2020.

Facilities

  • Eight lane, 25m, competition swimming pool with room for 150 spectators.

  • Learner pool

  • Spa area including sauna, steam and treatment facilities.

  • Fitness suite

  • Ten-pin bowling alley

  • Meeting rooms

  • Children’s soft play area

  • Multi-use studio spaces

  • Instead of a foyer there will be a social interaction zone – a cultural area to host community events and activities from talks to children’s sessions.

  • The roof space will offer a sensory garden and could also be used for a pop-up cinema, small theatre or open air exercise space.
