£1.8m refurbishment due to begin at Dungannon Leisure Centre

Dungannon Leisure Centre will close from Monday, April 29 as work begins on giving the centre a facelift.

The £1.8 million extensive refurbishment scheme represent a significant investment in Dungannon and in leisure by Mid Ulster District Council. The centre was last refurbished in the 1990s.


The newly revitalised centre will reopen around October.

Staff currently employed will be redeployed to other nearby council facilities.

The work ensures the current building can continue to offer a high quality, wide range of leisure opportunities in a revitalised, more modern environment until proposals for a new, state-of-the-art centre can be developed within the next five years.

Gym memberships are valid in other Mid Ulster District Council facilities, or members can choose to have memberships frozen and then reinstated once the centre opens.

Arrangements are being made to provide courses in nearby council facilities, such as the weekly yoga classes which will now happen in Ranfurly House, with other gym and fitness classes and activities taking place at Gortgonis Playing Fields, Coalisland, and swimming lessons in nearby Cookstown Leisure Centre.

Calls to the centre will be rerouted to the Dungannon Park switchboard and referred to dedicated leisure staff.

You can watch as the renovation of Dungannon Leisure Centre takes shape on its Facebook page, @DungannonLC, where regular updates on progress will be posted, or at www.midulstercouncil.org/DungannonLC.
