White Oaks Leisure Centre Grand Opening

This two-year project to deliver a brand new leisure centre that meets the modern needs of its diverse community was managed by Alliance Leisure and delivered by ISG. The development was procured by Sevenoaks District Council through the UK Leisure Framework, owned Sevenoaks and managed by Everyone Active.

Described by the Leader of the Council as a ‘historic investment’, the new centre replaces an inefficient centre of the same name built in the 1960s and creates an activity hub that meet the hugely diverse needs of modern society.

The grand opening took place on Saturday 12 February with over 4,000 people from the local community and some famous faces visiting to see the new facilities available. 

Wet side, the development incorporates two pools – a 25-metre, six-lane pool with an adjustable height floor plus a learner pool – ideal for hosting the centre’s full programme of children’s swimming lessons. Both pools are supported by a family changing village.

For the swimming club the centre also now features a Colorado Time Systems AOE touchpad timing system and scoreboard, along with APG start blocks and lane ropes.
