Construction has officially commenced on the new £38 million Caerphilly Leisure and Wellbeing Hub, with Alliance Leisure and Morgan Sindall assuming responsibility for the site on Friday 6th June 2025.

Situated close to Caerphilly Business Park and public transport links, this state-of-the-art facility is set to transform a disused area into a modern, inclusive space that promotes healthier, more active lifestyles for residents across the county borough. Delivered by Caerphilly County Borough Council as part of its ongoing place shaping programme, the development also supports the wider Caerphilly Town 2035 regeneration vision.

The two-storey hub will feature a leisure swimming pool with flumes and interactive water features, multi-purpose sports hall, health suite, expansive fitness suite, Innerva suite, wellness area, future studios, squash courts, TAGactive arena, café, lounge, adventure play area, community rooms, alongside other accessible amenities.

Councillor Chris Morgan, Cabinet Member for Leisure, said: “This is a proud moment for Caerphilly. Seeing our vision progress into construction is exciting and symbolic of our ongoing investment into the health and wellbeing of our communities. The Caerphilly Leisure and Wellbeing Hub will offer state-of-the-art facilities designed to serve residents for generations to come.”

This facility also represents another step towards delivering the ambition set out in the Councils adopted Sport & Active Recreation Strategy. The development is supported by the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund, alongside match funding and additional contributions from Caerphilly County Borough Council and other sources.

Updates on the project will be shared through our website and social media channels as the development progresses.
