Popular Bristol leisure centre set to reopen under new management after shock closure - here’s when

Filton Town Council is working with Parkwood Leisure Centre and their sub-contractor Creative Active Future to take over the management of Elm Park Leisure Centre.

The facility, formerly known as Filton Leisure Centre, closed on April 3 when owner Active Nation ceased operating, citing "ongoing financial challenges and other unforeseen circumstances".

It is set to reopen its doors to the public on Tuesday, May 27.

As part of a phased reopening, the cafe and reception will be open from midday on Tuesday, serving users of Elm Park during school half-term, with the gym welcoming members of the public from 7am on Monday, June 2, followed by the swimming pool, which will reopen on Monday, June 9.

“Bringing Elm Park Leisure Centre back into operation with a major national partner reflects our commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality health and wellbeing services to local residents.

“We're looking forward to re-opening this much-loved facility for the benefit of the whole community."

Further updates, including membership details, opening hours, and programming, will be shared via the Elm Park Leisure Centre website and social media channels.
