The Peterlee Leisure Centre redevelopment was born from a clear vision: to create a space that meets the evolving needs of the community while supporting Durham County Council’s strategic goals around health, wellbeing, and economic regeneration.
The range of exciting new facilities include the main addition of an eight-lane bowling alley. Four of the bowling lanes feature an immersive, interactive scoring system to further enhance the experience. Other new facilities include a bar, café and adventure soft play.
Improvements have also been made to the centre’s fitness offer. The gym has been relocated to a larger space and now features Technogym equipment and technology, plus the addition of a third fitness studio and a wellbeing suite.
A range of energy efficiency measures have also been installed after the council secured funding from the government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS).
