Doncaster’s The Dome leisure hub set for £14.4m redevelopment

A £14.4m refurbishment project of Doncaster’s iconic The Dome sports and leisure centre has taken a step forward, having been approved by City of Doncaster Council’s Cabinet.

The project will include the redevelopment of the Dome’s famous lagoons, which will see them closed for up to a year. The venue’s other facilities and services – such as the ice rink and health club – will remain open.

Doncaster Dome first opened in 1989 and is in need of modernisation. Operated by Doncaster Culture Leisure Trust, the centre was made a Grade II Listed building last year.

CEO of Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust, Michael Hart, said: “We’re thrilled that the City of Doncaster Council approved the funding for the refurbishment of the Lagoons at Doncaster Dome.”
