The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Centre, Rugby's new leisure centre, is on track to opens its doors on 31 August.

The new centre replaces the Ken Marriott Leisure Centre, which has been demolished after serving the town for 40 years.

The centre, designed by B3 Architects, has been built on the site of the Ken Marriott Leisure Centre's car park.

Facilities include two swimming pools, a 100-station gym, a climbing wall, a six-court sports hall, space for dance classes and martial arts, a coffee shop and space for future expansion.

Charitable social enterprise GLL will operate the site under the brand "Better".

The decision to close the Ken Marriott Leisure Centre followed studies which showed the building had reached the end of its life and needed substantial investment and refurbishment - or replacement.

Councillor Heather Timms, Rugby Borough Council said: “We will soon have one of the most modern and best equipped centres for disability sport in the region, in a flexible space that will suit the needs of Rugbeians for a generation.”
