Soon, the muddy expanse adjacent to Bluecoat Sports Centre (BCS) will be home to many exciting new sports facilities. Currently, the sports centre offers a 25 metre swimming pool, squash courts and various gym facilities as well as a café for a post-workout snack. Included in the new leisure development will be a wide range of different activities, including four new padel courts (padel is a racket sport similar to tennis and is the fastest growing sport in the UK) as well as a more traditional 400 metre running track and facilities for many field events , there will also be an outdoor exercise adventure trail- the first of its kind in the country! Something for everyone.
This will be an excellent amenity providing opportunities for local sports organisations and is very exciting for the surrounding community (including Christ’s Hospital students). The work started in July 2024 and is due to be completed by the same time next year, a fit and healthy future lies ahead!.
