East Hampshire District Council will soon be making a splash in Whitehill & Bordon by installing a fantastic family-friendly addition to the pool, complete with splashzone and water slides.
Whitehill & Bordon Leisure Centre will soon incorporate a splashpad and indoor aquatic adventure equipment to provide an exciting attraction for the town’s youngsters and an irresistible draw for families across East Hampshire.
“I am incredibly excited to be announcing these facilities as it demonstrates to my fellow residents across the Whitehill & Bordon area our commitment at EHDC to deliver results, which is what we are elected as local councillors to do.
“It represents a significant investment from the council and from Everyone Active, our leisure operators, and that means it is a clear demonstration of the commitment EHDC has to providing fantastic facilities to Whitehill & Bordon.”
Market research conducted by industry experts identified Whitehill & Bordon Leisure Centre as the most appropriate location to place the exciting new attraction as the most central of the district’s three leisure facilities.
Cllr Richard Millard, EHDC Leader, said the facilities will enhance East Hampshire’s already extensive leisure provision. Since 2020, the council and Everyone Active have delivered brand new leisure centres in Alton and Whitehill & Bordon and a multi-million pound upgrade to the Taro Leisure Centre in Petersfield.
“Customer surveys and sector research have shown there is a need of activities for families and young people at the Whitehill & Bordon Leisure Centre, when compared to offerings in Petersfield and in Alton.
“That gap in the market and the central position of the Whitehill & Bordon Leisure Centre make this the perfect location for the new facilities which will be a huge draw for people from the town and across the district.”
“The proposal to extend the leisure centre is another positive step for the delivery of the town centre offering a further attraction for children and families to enjoy.”
