Summer makeover for Drumbrae Leisure Centre
Drumbrae Leisure Centre will be closed over the school holidays, the city council has announced.
The centre ‘is getting a well-deserved £1 million plus refurbishment during summer 2016 and will be closing its doors from 10pm on Friday, 17 June, with an estimated re-opening date of 3 October.’
Edinburgh schools go on holiday on 30 June.
The improvements at Drumbrae Leisure Centre will include:
- more fitness classes in an environment that will be one of the best in the city, with the creation of a brand new low intensity fitness studio and a refurbishment of our existing studio;
- a brand new cycle studio with Matrix bikes and a brand new programme of cycle classes.
- the Drumbrae gym was recently refurbished with the latest equipment (over 60 pieces) a few months ago but Edinburgh Leisure will be adding to this and creating some extra space so that there’ll be more room to work out in. The experienced gym team will also be launching some new gym classes as well as being on hand to help customers achieve their personal goals.
- a new sauna in the pool area
- improvements to all the changing areas, toilets and showers
- a makeover in the reception area and a refresh of the café area.
Whilst the refurbishment is taking place, an alternative fitness class timetable, using other Edinburgh Leisure centres across the city, will be in place and customers looking to swim can choose between Ainslie Park Leisure Centre, Dalry and Glenogle Swim Centres.
Refurbishment updates are available on a dedicated webpage on the Edinburgh Leisure website.
The Leisure Centre is an important hub for this weekend’s Clermiston and Drumbrae Children’s Gala. Helpers are still required – check out the Gala’s Facebook page for details.
