Avoniel Leisure Centre is located in east Belfast and offers a range of classes and activities for everyone.

Temporary closure of the changing rooms, Millennium Suite and elevator

The changing rooms at Avoniel Leisure Centre will be closed for refurbishment from Monday 18 March until the summer. We’re carrying out the following work:

• retiling male and female changing area
• reconditioning the lockers
• installing new toilet cubicles
• installing new shower facilities.

The Millennium Suite at Avoniel Leisure Centre will be closed from Monday 18 March until the summer as we’re retiling the corridor leading to the spa, sauna and steam room.

The elevator will also be out of use and there will be no access to the first floor for wheelchairs or prams.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

Temporary closure of Avoniel swimming pool

The new look Avoniel pool will reopen in summer 2013.

We have conducted extensive investigations to find the leak in Avoniel swimming pool and to assess the damage it has caused.

We're repairing the damage and we're going to refurbish the pool hall at the same time.

Work includes:

• relining the entire pool, overflow channels and balance tank
• replacing most of the pool’s piping
• repair to the ceiling and ventilation duct system.

The newly refurbished pool will be brighter and more modern as we will also be repainting it. We'll also be re-tiling the pool bank and the changing room floors.

We will try to minimise disruption for centre users and you can use any of our other seven leisure centre pools.

If you are a Boost member, you have unlimited use of all our swimming pools as well as our fitness suites and council-run fitness classes.

For more information call us on 028 9072 6326, or to find your nearest alternative swimming pool, visit www.belfastcity.gov.uk/leisurecentres
