Temporary pool closure 31 December to 9 January
December 19th, 2011
Sportspark will temporarily be closing its swimming pool from Saturday 31 December until Monday 9 January 2012 whilst essential maintenance work is carried out.
During the pool shutdown, work will be carried out on the shallow pool’s moving floor as well as tile replacement around the pool edge. Maintenance will be carried out around the pool area as well as in the pool changing rooms.
Acting Director of Sport, Maria Rowe, said “The Sportspark is now eleven years old, and with over 1.3 million visitors every year, we need to ensure we can carry out the maintenance requirements in the pool area. For us to continue to offer top class swimming facilities this means unfortunately we need to close the pool for the work to take place. We decided to carry out the repairs over the quieter Christmas and New Year period, when the maintenance teams are available. We have already informed our customers online and with notices in the building, and we apologise for the inconvenience the closure may cause.”
Maria Rowe added “By carrying out a scheduled maintenance programme we are continuing our policy of providing top quality, sustainable facilities at Sportspark. I would like to thank our customers for their patience and support whilst the refurbishment is being carried out and look forward to our swimmers benefiting from it, when the pool reopens on Monday 9th January.”
