The new state of the art changing rooms at Wandsworth Council's flagship leisure and fitness complex at Barn Elms is almost finished and open to the public.
The new pavilion is a modern replacement for the previous changing facilities - offering visitors bigger and better gym space plus a new café.
With the construction now complete the next stages of the project will involve fitting out the café and landscaping around the building’s perimeter. But the gym and changing rooms are now open to the public. Barn Elms covers some 52 acres and offers residents, youth groups, clubs and local schools the opportunity to take part a huge range of sports and leisure activities.
It offers grass pitches for rugby, football, cricket, Aussie rules and rounders as well as 16 tennis courts along with specialist facilities for archery, athletics, field events, a gym and boathouse for rowing. It also has artificial surfaces for netball and hockey.
And after the London Olympics, and as part of the 2012 Games legacy, 1,000 tonnes of sand was transported from the beach volleyball venue in Horseguards Parade to Barn Elms so that the sport would have a permanent home in the capital.
