The wait is almost over as the doors open at the brand new Halton Leisure Centre on February 10!
With the two-year building project, led by Wates Construction, completed and the finishing touches made to the facilities, Halton Borough Council is proud to unveil the stunning £30m centre on Moor Lane, Widnes.
It replaces Kingsway Leisure Centre, which will close on January 31 after more than 40 years.
Halton Leisure Centre features a 25 metre swimming pool, learner pool, gym, sports hall, fitness studios, squash court, steam room and sauna, and community rooms. There are lots of changing rooms and toilets, including a Changing Places facility for those with physical and learning disabilities.
A soft play area and cafe will also be opening soon on the ground floor.
Outside there are 150 car parking spaces, including electric car charging bays, plus bike racks.
No matter what type of activity you prefer or how often you take part, there is something for everyone. Whether you want to visit the gym, swim, attend a class or maybe try a new sport, we have an Active Halton membership to suit you.

Cllr Paul Nolan, Halton Borough Council’s portfolio holder for leisure services, says: “We are thrilled that the new leisure centre is ready to open and are immensely proud of what will be on offer to Halton residents.
“Kingsway served us well for so many years, but this change is long overdue and this fabulous building providing a modern mix of facilities tailored to our local community.
“Keeping active is vital for health and wellbeing, and this project supports the Council’s vision of helping more residents to participate in sport and physical activity for the long-term good.
“So please come and check out your brand new Halton Leisure Centre – you won’t be disappointed!”
