Leeds City Council have today released the latest images of the new Morley Leisure Centre which opens this summer.
The new centre on Scatcherd Park is nearing completion as part of a joint £33m project managed by Leeds City Council which includes another new centre at Armley.
Morley is the larger of the two new centres, boasting a 25m main swimming pool, a 10m learner pool, a 150-station Bodyline gym, a six-court sports hall, a four-court sports hall, a multi-activity hall and a dance studio plus a café.
The 150-station Bodyline gym will be the largest council-managed gym in the city when it opens.
Following a tour of the new centre at Morley, Leeds City Council executive member for Leisure Cllr John Procter said:
“Just like the new centre at Armley this one at Morley is coming along fantastically well. You can really get a feel for how they are going to look when they are finished and we are counting down the weeks until the doors open and everyone can come in and see them. These two new centres are going to be fantastic additions to our leisure centre provision here in Leeds, giving us state-of-the-art new facilities which any city in the world would be proud of having. Everyone who sees them is sure to be impressed.”
