We’re partnering with Fife Council and Fife Cultural Trust to refurbish and breathe new life into Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre! We aim to establish an integrated hub combining leisure and cultural offerings, creating an exhilarating community environment. 

The venue will close from Monday 15th of April 2024, and remain closed for approximately 14 months due to renovations. During this period, the centre will not be accessible to customers. However, we have made arrangements to relocate activities and ensure that our customers and members can still enjoy our services.

So, what exactly can you expect from this ambitious project? Let's delve into the details.  

Library Relocation
One of the most significant changes will involve relocating the local library. The current library on the High Street will find its new home within the leisure centre. The library will be accessible to customers beyond regular opening hours, making it even more convenient for residents to visit and enjoy.  

Revamped Gym Facilities
Fitness enthusiasts will be delighted to know that the gym facilities at Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre are set to receive a makeover. The gym space will be enhanced, and dedicated fitness and aerobic studios will be added. Whether you're into lifting weights, spinning, or attending a fitness class, these upgraded facilities will cater to a wide range of fitness needs, ensuring that there's something for everyone. 

Pool Facilities
Our pool facilities are undergoing refurbishment to provide you with a more pleasant and comfortable experience during your visit to our leisure centre. The changing areas will be upgraded, ensuring a relaxing and convenient experience before and after your swim.

Health Suite
Additionally, we are investing in our health suite to provide you with an even more rejuvenating experience. We are replacing the sauna and steam room so you can unwind and recharge. We aim to create an environment that promotes health and wellbeing.

Outdoor Facilities
The project doesn't stop at the indoor facilities. The Synthetic Turf Pitch will be replaced and repurposed, providing a state-of-the-art outdoor space for various activities. This will not only enhance the look of the centre but also expand the range of recreational opportunities available to the community. 

What to Expect During the Project
As with any major renovation, there will be a period during which the venue is temporarily closed to carry out the work. We have partnered with local facilities to offer alternative venues for your leisure activities during this period.

Fitness classes and gyms
The gym at Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre will be temporarily closed while the refurbishment is underway. We encourage customers to make use of our other venues, our group fitness classes will also be relocated. Click here to see the alternative venues above are all within 10 miles of Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre.

For those enrolled in our Learn to Swim programme, rest assured that these activities will continue seamlessly.

We've arranged to relocate swimming lessons to Lochgelly High School, and Bowhill Swimming Pool ensuring you won't miss out on this valuable experience.

Health & Wellbeing Relocation
