Leisure centre bookings being taken ahead of reopening

BOOKINGS are now being taken for classes at Shannon Leisure Centre, which is due to reopen on July 3.
Councillor Patricia McCarthy is on the board of the leisure centre and she said that work is now back on track.
“Everything is on target now for July 3 and bookings are being taken for classes. The tennis courts are nearly done – we’re waiting for the surface to go on them and for netting. The skatepark is nearly finished too, we’re just waiting for the modular shape to go in,” she said.
Work on the leisure centre was delayed after a dispute with builders. The length of the delay sparked an online campaign seeking its reopening and a public protest outside a meeting of Shannon Town Council earlier this year.
Membership of the leisure centre can also be booked and prices are at 2007 levels.
Details of upcoming activities are available on the leisure centre’s website, on a noticeboard at the town centre and brochures are being distributed to local schools.
