Diss Leisure Centre Revamp
Find out all of the information related to the refurbishment here
Diss Leisure Centre has received nearly £4 million for modernisation and refurbishment work. This will secure the future of the leisure centre for years to come, as well as helping us become more energy and cost efficient. The refurbishment includes:
- Shallower swimming pool; increasing safety, efficiency and capacity for classes
- Improved spectator seating area
- Bigger and revamped changing rooms
- New solar panels, air source heat pump and insulation – to reduce running costs and make our centre more energy efficient
To make these improvements we will unfortunately need to close the centre from 12 February, until December 2024.
Current plans for the refurbished centre do not include a gym or sauna and steam provision. However, this is being reviewed with options being explored for the recently purchased John Grose site along with other development opportunities within the town.
Please note, work has now started on the outside of Diss Leisure Centre. This has effected a small area of the car park, which means parking is limited. If you can, please car share or walk/cycle to the centre when possible. We will try to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. Thank you for your patience during this time.
