Basingstoke leisure complex could open in 2029

Plans for a new water and leisure complex in Basingstoke are being firmed up as Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has begun the formal search for a leisure specialist to design, build and operate it.

Work to replace the town’s historic Aquadrome has been progressing since February, when the council approved a range of new facilities to feature at the site. The plans will see a new energy-efficient centre replacing the council-owned Aquadrome. If planning permissions is granted, the new complex could open to the public in 2029.
