New Epping Leisure Centre set for 2025 opening

The new Epping Leisure Centre is expected to open by the end of the year. Construction work reached a major landmark recently with the centre’s two pools now being finished and 95% of the roofing being completed – with only the green roof remaining.

Around 90% of the external envelope of the building had also now been completed. Once open, the centre will include a main swimming pool, a learner pool, sports hall, health and fitness club, squash courts and exercise studios.

With air-sourced heat pumps and digital technology, the Epping Forest District Council – which owns the centre – is hoping to achieve BREEAM excellent rating for the facility.

The centre is owned by Epping Forest District Council and is operated – alongside the council’s other facilities by Places Leisure.
