Hinckley’s new Leisure Centre was created to inspire the town’s people to enjoy and benefit from physical activity.
Built on the site of the Council’s former offices in the heart of the town centre, Hinckley Leisure Centre opened on time and on budget and has a life expectancy of more than 40 years.
Includes a fitness suite, an eight court sports hall, eight-lane 25 metre swimming pool and a community pool – both with moveable floors. There is also sauna and steam rooms, group exercise studios and a cycling studio.
The new facility will be significantly greener and more environmentally friendly than the old Leisure centre, which dated back to 1975 and although popular and well-used was becoming tired.
The design strategy was to create an elegant pavilion in a mature parkland setting near a historic monument and listed building. The Centre responds to the sensitive site through high quality design and use of high quality, modern and traditional materials.
The centre's entrance focuses on the parkland in front, with the aim for the park to be part of the building and the building part of the park. The activity spaces in the building have been designed to overlook the park and be a shop window for what is available within.
