Gloucester's GL1 Leisure Centre Gets £8m Makeover!

Gloucester's GL1 leisure centre is poised for a comprehensive refurbishment, with work commencing in September. This extensive upgrade is part of an £8 million investment by Gloucester City Council aimed at revitalizing leisure facilities across the city. Visitors can anticipate a completely new gym, enhanced soft-play facilities, modernized changing rooms, and the addition of a thrilling new water slide.

The improvements also include updated EGym equipment. Furthermore, the popular women's only gym will re-open next year, featuring improved security measures in response to community feedback. The GL1 centre, previously closed in September 2023, is now being brought back into use through a partnership between Freedom Leisure and the city council. These enhancements are expected to conclude in autumn 2027, marking a significant investment in a key community asset.
