Newport’s Splash: A New Leisure Landmark
Get ready, Newport! The city is set to make waves with the opening of its new leisure centre, aptly named Splash. This exciting development promises to be a vibrant hub for both locals and visitors, offering a plethora of activities and facilities that cater to all ages and interests.
Splash is strategically located near the picturesque River Usk, right in the heart of the city. This prime waterfront location enhances its appeal, making it a must-visit destination for everyone. The centre boasts not one, but two fantastic pools. The first is a leisure and fun pool, complete with play equipment for children and a lazy river that promises enjoyment for all ages. The second pool is dedicated to public swimming, lessons, and exercise sessions, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
But that’s not all! Splash will also feature a state-of-the-art gym, a variety of exercise classes, and a cosy café where you can unwind and socialise. Steve Ward, Chief Executive of Newport Live, emphasises the centre’s mission to provide inclusive sport, leisure, and wellbeing opportunities, ensuring that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy being active.
In an impressive stride towards sustainability, Splash is expected to be among the UK’s first net zero facilities of its kind, powered entirely by electricity from renewable sources. This commitment to the environment is supported by significant external funding, including contributions from the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns programme and the UK government.
