Closures at Riverside

The next phase of the works at Riverside will affect different parts of the building and the facilities at different times.  

You need to check through this information carefully. This will help you understand how these works will affect your current and future visits. 

However, we will keep the pools, gym and studios open during the majority of the works, until the new centre is ready. 

We apologise for any inconvenience, but we are looking forward to opening our fantastic new Centre in Spring 2019.


Sports Hall

The Sports Hall will be closing from Monday 22 October until Spring 2019 for major upgrades and improvements. 

If you usually book the Sports Hall, we can offer you space at our other leisure centres.


Studio 1

We will also close Studio 1 and relocate it in the new part of the building.

We will be changing the timetable for classes in Studio 1, and we will move classes to Studios 2 and 3. You can check class timetables to confirm the location.


We will be closing the undercroft car park from Tuesday 23 October until 25 January for building work.

If you are a Pay and Play customers and normally park here, you will be able to use alternative parking in:

  • Waterloo Lane car park 1

If you are a Monthly Member, you can also use our Meadows Retail multi-storey car park (behind Iceland), as well as the three Waterloo Lane car parks. 

If you are using the multi-storey car park, you will need to use your existing pink pass. This will allow you to park for up to three hours for free. If you park for longer than three hours, we will charge you.
