About Us
Harlow Leisurezone brings the opportunity for the people of Harlow and beyond to have fun, re-energise, improve health and fitness, learn new skills, relax, and unwind, all under one roof.
The brand new, state of the art leisure centre gives the town its first ever combined wet and dry sporting facility on one site.
The beautiful swimming pool is larger than the previous one at 25m x 8 lanes with seating for 300 spectators, and a learner/training pool.
The sports hall is built to national club standard for badminton, basketball and trampolining and features a sprung, slip resistant floor. It is also capable of comfortably hosting major sporting and leisure events.
Other facilities include an indoor tennis hall, a state-of-the art gym, three fitness studios, four squash courts, health spa, daycare nursery, hair salon, physiotherapy centre, science exhibition, lounge bar/restaurant and café.
Leisurezone has already been earmarked as a training facility for elite athletes in the run up to the London 2012 Olympics.
Harlow Leisurezone is operated by Harlow & District Sports Trust; an independent and registered charitable Trust under the direction of volunteer Trustees. The Trust’s objective has been to provide exceptional sport and leisure for the people of Harlow and District.
The Trust has always been ready to innovate, adapt and expand. This adaptability and forethought was especially crucial in the planning and implementation of the Gateway Project, in which Harlow Leisurezone was a fundamental element.
The Gateway Project has supported the regeneration of sports, leisure and housing across Harlow. Please click this link for more information on
