We have had some requests for information about the New Leisure Centre that is currently under construction in Bakers Lane.
The latest update we have is from June and is as follows -
Work is progressing for the exciting development of the new Epping Leisure Centre. The centre will be located in Bakers Lane and replace the existing Epping Sports Centre in Hemnall Street, and forms one part of a wider development project for the town.
Energy Efficient
Epping Leisure Centre will become the newest and most energy efficient in the district, supporting the council’s aim to become carbon neutral by 2030. As well as air-sourced heat pumps and digital technology, the centre will incorporate the highest levels of insulation into construction, keeping future energy bills and carbon emissions as low as possible.
Epping Leisure Centre facilities will include:
A main swimming pool
A learner pool
Sports hall
Health and fitness gym
Studios
Partnerships and opportunities
Epping Leisure Centre will be delivered by Epping Forest District Council in partnership with Places Leisure. Pellikaan Construction Ltd is carrying out the construction work.
Places Leisure manages all the district’s leisure centres on behalf of the council. Residents may be familiar with Pellikaan Construction Ltd, as it is the same company that successfully built the Waltham Abbey Leisure Centre in 2017.
New Epping Leisure Centre updates
Pellikaan have now completed the reduced dig exercise as well as installing all the foundation piles for both the main swimming pool and the learner pool. This now allows the start of the construction of the building structure.
Over the coming 2 to 3 months, Pellikaan will be casting the concrete for all the basement floor slabs, retaining walls and the concrete shells that will form both swimming pools.
Since our April 2024 timelapse footage update, Pellikaan have added a second camera to provide an additional perspective on the build.
Here are a couple of time lapse video showing progress.
