Kirkcaldy’s swimming pool, built in the 1970’s, will be replaced with a new state of the art leisure centre overlooking the Firth of Forth.

Work began on site in November 2011 on the former Tolbooth Street car park. A range of alternative car parking is available, many within a 5 minute walk of the town centre. Click here for a map of alternative parking.

The new leisure centre will offer both swimming and dryside facilities. Features will include a 25m x 6 lane swimming pool with poolside spectating for over 90 people, a 16.6m x 8m training pool with movable floor and a modern wetside change area with adjoining health suite.
 
New dryside facilities will include a 4 badminton court sports hall, purpose built aerobics studio, play centre, gym with 60 stations and café.

When is it due to open?

The new centre is due to open in summer 2013 and will be managed by Fife Sports and Leisure Trust (links to external website) on behalf of Fife Council.

Work is progressing well on site. The concrete works for the swimming pool area and all ground floor slab works are complete.  The steel frame and the first phase of the sports hall area is taking shape.  Offsite works, including junction improvements at Tolbooth Street and footpath improvements at the front of The Mercat, are also underway.

 
 

How much is it costing?

Fife Council has invested £15.3 million into the new facility. The project was also awarded a grant of £1 m from sportscotland’s Sports Facilities Fund (links to external website).
