“Young people have been watching the build and constantly asking when is it opening.
“It was agreed at last night’s board meeting the date could be officially revealed today.”
The new leisure centre will mean the closure of three other older leisure centres in the borough, Waves in Lurgan, Cascades in Portadown and Brownlow Leisure Centre in Craigavon.

While the new centre has state of the art facilities, there have been some complaints regarding its location at Craigavon City Park and the issue over potential traffic congestion.
