Construction Begins on Partington Leisure Centre Transformation

Construction is now underway on the major refurbishment of Partington Leisure Centre, marking a significant milestone in the delivery of the new move Partington facility and the wider regeneration of Partington Sports Village.

Date

Transforming the existing Chapel Lane building into a modern, community-focused health and wellbeing destination that will serve local residents for generations to come.

Scheduled to open in 2028, the leisure centre will provide a range of high-quality leisure and wellness facilities, including a swimming pool, sports hall, fitness studios, health and wellbeing spaces, and a café. The redevelopment forms part of Trafford Council’s long-term strategy to enhance sports and leisure provision across the borough.

The project has secured £18.3 million of Levelling Up funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, alongside a further £2 million investment from Sport England.

We have worked closely with Trafford Council, Trafford Leisure and the wider project team to develop proposals that reimagine the existing building as a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable community asset. The scheme is designed to support healthier lifestyles, encourage greater participation in physical activity and create a welcoming environment for people of all ages and abilities.

All are looking forward to seeing the transformation take shape over the coming months and to supporting the delivery of a facility that will make a lasting positive impact on Partington and the surrounding communities.

Cllr Eve Parker, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Leisure, Arts, Sport and Heritage, said:

We are delighted to get this work under way and we thank local people for their patience as the construction phase progresses. We look forward to presenting the community with a brand new facility that will create new jobs and encourage people of all ages, abilities and interests to lead active lives by taking part in fun and engaging activities.

the centre brought back to life and we're excited to create a modern community facility that will serve Partington for generations to come. This is much more than a building refurbishment. It is an investment in people, providing a welcoming space where residents can be active, improve their health, connect with others and access opportunities that support a thriving community. We look forward to opening the third site under our move brand and seeing the positive impact it will have across Partington.
