Kirkby Leisure Centre play area extended

Work has been completed on a soft play area at Kirkby Leisure Centre in Nottinghamshire.

The work saw the soft play area extended by 20 per cent, with a wide range of new features being added. These included a foam forest, a mirri maze, “soft ninja”, a log ramp and a free jump area, as well as a speed and reaction zone.

Completed in November, the work is part of a £207,000 investment by Ashfield District Council – which owns the centre – and Everyone Active, which operates the centre on behalf of the council.

As well as the new play area, the investment has seen an extension of the fitness suite and an update to the building’s management system.

Councillor Chris Huskinson, the council’s Executive Lead for Leisure, Health and Wellbeing, said: “Our new soft play area at Kirkby Leisure Centre is bigger and better and we can’t wait to welcome families back.”
