Waterworld’s gym closes for refurbishment

Waterworld’s Gym is due to close from today for refurbishment.

The final touches are being put to improvements at Waterworld Leisure Centre in the town centre, with the gym recently undergoing a weekend closure for new flooring to be installed.

The gym will close from today (Monday, August 14) to Friday, August 18th with new equipment to be installed on the site during this week.

While the gym is closed, users are encouraged by Wrexham Council to ‘take the opportunity to visit updated facilities at Queensway, Chirk, or Gwyn Evans, all three of which have seen upgrades to their own equipment as part of the £2.7million invested into leisure facilities across Wrexham’.

The facility will see an official re-opening event in the autumn.

Work also taking place includes at the dual use facilities at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd, with a new 3G pitch to be completed soon.

Along with Chirk Leisure and Activity Centre and the Queensway Stadium, Morgan Llwyd is one of three sites across the county borough to have new pitches installed.

Morgan Llwyd is the largest pitch of all three, with £140,000 in investment. The new pitch will be able to cater for all levels of matches, including adult matches.

Cllr Paul Rogers, Lead Member for Youth Services and Anti-Poverty, with responsibility for Leisure, said: “Work on all these facilities is coming on at an excellent pace and the whole set of works has just flown by – it won’t be long before a completely new gym is in situ at Waterworld.

“And the soon to be complete work at Morgan Llwyd will crown more than £300,000 in investment at dual use sports pitches across the county borough, with work also having taken place at Chirk and Queensway.”
