The spacious new foyer will boast a wide reception area and has access to a new refurbished crèche with laundry, sleeping room and outdoor playground.

The old cafe has been demolished and rebuilt and includes an alfresco area.
The size of the sports courts, allowing four basketball courts or 16 badminton courts as well as other ball sports, have been increased to meet national standards.
An adjacent corridor allows access to the rest of the facility without walking on the courts and includes a meeting room for use by member groups.
The 150-bay parking area across the road from the centre will stay, along with an adjacent overflow area and a further 120-bay parking area that will wrap around the centre.
