Winchester Sports & Leisure Park provides a state-of-the-art, sports and leisure facility for Winchester City Council. The new centre is located in an existing sports park adjacent to the University of Winchester sports stadium. It is a modern, welcoming and inclusive building that offers the local community a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports and leisure activities.
Facilities include a 50-m eight-lane swimming pool with movable floor, a children’s play pool and a 10m x 20m teaching pool. In partnership with the Pinder Trust, the centre also incorporates a hydrotherapy suite for members with disabilities or those recovering from injury.
On the dry side, the building has a large gym, which again allows and encourages activities for all ages and abilities. Two exercise studios, a spinning studio, four squash courts, a climbing facility, an eight court multi-purpose sports hall and a restaurant complete the offer.
The building was designed to high sustainability standards and has a BREEAM rating of “excellent”. It has also been recognised for its design quality, winning both a RIBA South Award and the Client of the Year Award 2023.
We have worked with LA on the design and construction of the Winchester Sport and Leisure Park from its very early stages. Their enthusiasm, expertise and skills are excellent, they create a great working relationship and strive towards high quality whilst always seeking to meet the Client's needs. They are always available and never tire in answering our endless queries, always giving excellent advise with great confidence.Andy Hickman - Head of Programme – Place
