£4.6m Cotlandswick Leisure Centre open for business
The new £4.6m Cotlandswick Leisure Centre in London Colney has opened to the public, following a 10-month construction project.
Councillor Gill Clark – the deputy mayor of St Albans City and District – cut the ribbon on Cotlandswick Leisure Centre late last month to kick off a community open day.
Operated by 1Life on behalf of the council, the new centre was constructed by Wilmott Dixon, working to designs from Pozzoni Architects. It features nine 3G football pitches, a 42-station gym with equipment from Life Fitness, TRX and foam rolling from Trigger Point. There is also a group exercise studio, a sports hall and a children’s soft play area.
“It was fantastic to see all the different facilities that the centre offers being used by the local community,” said Cotlandswick general manager Martin Holland.
“Outside, young people were having a great time on the pitches and indoors the laser tag was particularly popular. It’s been a great start and now we need to continue to build on the successful opening.”
