Sheffield tennis centre ready to serve the public

By Deven Pamben 24 Aug 2016

Places for People Leisure will manage the facility

Graves Tennis and Leisure Centre is set to open its doors to the public next week (1 September, 2016).

The £16m (US$21.1m, €18.6m) redevelopment, which will be managed by Places for People Leisure on behalf of Sheffield City Council, features 10 outdoor and eight indoor tennis courts, a six-lane 25m swimming pool, a separate learner pool, a gym, fitness studios, and a gymnastics and trampolining centre.

The investment is the biggest in leisure facilities for the south Yorkshire city in the last 20 years.

Sport England provided £2.75m (US$3.6m, €3.2m) towards the project from its Iconic Facilities fund.

The centre, which has taken 15 months to build, is on the same site as a new football ‘hub’ with outdoor football pitches, built in conjunction with the FA.

Places for People Leisure runs more than 100 leisure centres across the country.
