New-look Dulwich swimming pool to reopen

By Pete Hayman    20 Sep 2010

Dulwich Leisure Centre's swimming pool will reopen to the public on 24 September, following the completion of the first stage of a £6.1m revamp at the South London venue.

Work on phase one of the renovation programme has been focussed on the centre's pool area, which has included a new roof for the pool hall and retiling of the pool itself. A UV filter to help improve water conditions and rooftop solar thermal panels to enhance energy efficiency have been installed, while the building's original Victorian features have been preserved.

The first stage has also featured the creation of a new reception area as part of a new entrance from Crystal Palace Road, while access for disabled users has been enhanced. Peter Kay, chief executive officer of Fusion Lifestyle - which runs the centre on behalf of Southwark Council, said: "The project is testament to the council's support for the future of leisure, and the first class facilities created here offer a place not just for sport and fitness, but also relaxation and fun."

Veronica Ward, cabinet member for culture, leisure, sport and the Olympics at the council, added: "The centre will offer locals a superior facility which I hope will inspire them to get active and healthy and as a place to socialise and enjoy themselves."
