Felixstowe Leisure Centre will begin a major refurbishment on 4 November, with phase one focusing on swimming pool changing rooms.

Felixstowe Leisure Centre will begin phase one of a major refurbishment on 4 November as part of a long-term investment by East Suffolk Council to upgrade the facility through a multi-stage programme. The first phase will completely overhaul the swimming pool changing rooms, including poolside toilets and showers.

Caroline Topping, leader of East Suffolk Council, said the work will provide customers with 'upgraded, modern changing facilities, with further upgrades to the building expected to follow next year'. She added that the council remains committed to investing in leisure centres to ensure residents have access to high-quality facilities.

Temporary changing facilities will be available for customers while work is carried out, and clear signage will be in place throughout the centre. The refurbishment follows recent updates to the health suite area, including replacement flooring and new railings. Felixstowe Leisure Centre is operated by Places Leisure on behalf of East Suffolk Council.

A second phase of upgrades is planned for 2027/28, though the detailed scope and programme for phase two is currently being developed.
