The demolition process is underway at the old Allander, which is next door, with restricted parking in the meantime. * The hydrotherapy pool has been filled and is ready for use by people with learning disabilities, families with young babies and people with mobility issues. * The 100-station Gym will offer state-of-the-art equipment and inspiration to help patrons achieve their fitness goals. * Static bikes have been installed in the ICG Connect Indoor Cycling Studio, as well as dynamic lighting and a video wall which can display real-time information and take 'spinners' on a virtual tour of the world! * Diving blocks are in place and the 20-metre, three-lane training pool has also been filled - with a moveable floor that can descend to two metres, allowing it to cater for all ages. * A Pool Pod has been installed which will allow people with mobility challenges to access the water, using a wheelchair or step. Water and heat must be slowly added to ensure the tiles are not damaged. * The 25-metre, eight-lane swimming pool has been filled with 637,500 litres of water - a delicate process which began at the end of 2022. The overall project – which involves the construction of a new 'Sports Dome', offering two football pitches and a tennis court – is expected to be completed by autumn 2023.
It's part of a £42.5 million investment by East Dunbartonshire Council - which also includes a support centre for adults with learning disabilities. The Bearsden facility is on track to open to customers on Monday 6 March 2023. Excitement is building as the first phase of the new Allander Leisure Centre nears completion.
