Project Overview

The overall project was to create and establish a central sports hub within the area Whitwick. The sports hub would provide the means to perform many different activities and get the local population active to improve general health as a direct response to the council aims. The Green Fields Sports and Leisure Centre itself will provide an 8-lane championship pool with the addition of a learner pool with a moveable pool floor, a 5 court sports hall, 60 station gym with free weight area, studios complete with moveable walls as well as spectator seating overlooking the pool. In terms of the masterplan of the scheme, the site will be developed to house a 11-A-Side 4G football pitch with viewing stands, 3 tennis courts with a tennis pavilion, winding cycle path connecting to the local national cycle route and smaller activity zones across the site. The scheme has taken the opportunity of the scale of the site and built upon the existing facilities offered by the existing Hermitage Centre.
