Citadel Improvements Progress as Internal Refurbishment Works Continue

The internal refurbishment works at the Citadel Leisure Centre will soon progress to the next phase, as improvements to the wet changing facilities are set to commence.

For a period of 7 months beginning on Monday 15 June, the provision of wet change will close for the essential works to be undertaken. During this period, the existing dry changing facilities will be used for both wet and dry purposes, and additional poolside changing cubicles will be introduced to increase capacity. While we aim to minimise disruption, pool users are encouraged to arrive 'swim ready' where possible, and gym and fitness class users should aim to arrive dressed for activity.

To accommodate the works, a temporary timetable will be available online from Monday 7 June, with adjustments to our programme of classes taking effect from Monday 15 June. Due to increased demand at peak times, users are asked to allow extra time for changing. Alternative facilities are also available at Maybole and Prestwick Leisure Clubs throughout this time. Details of opening times across all of our venues are available at: https://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/article/61357/Our-Venues

These works continue the momentum of investment across our Sport and Leisure facilities, following the re-opening of Prestwick Leisure Club, and the ongoing programme of works to upgrade and extend Troon Leisure Club.

South Ayrshire Council's Policy Lead for Leisure and Community Services, Councillor Chris Cullen said: "It's really encouraging to see the next stage of improvements at the Citadel getting underway. These are significant works that will help us modernise the facilities and continue improving the experience for everyone who uses the centre. 

"At the same time, we fully recognise how important these services are to people's daily routines, health and wellbeing. A vast amount of work has gone into making sure we can keep the centre operating as effectively as possible throughout the refurbishment, while keeping disruption to an absolute minimum. 

"I want to thank customers for their patience and understanding during the works, and also acknowledge the efforts of staff who are working incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep services running and support users throughout the project."
