Major progress made on East Riding Leisure Goole redevelopment

Tuesday, 26 May 2026

The redevelopment at East Riding Leisure Goole is now just a few months away from being handed over from the developer, Willmott Dixon, to the council. The team on site have made significant progress over recent weeks and the building is starting to take shape both inside and outside.

The cladding and windows on the front of the building have now been installed, work on the brand-new learner pool is nearing completion and tiling is under way.

Meanwhile in other areas the changing village is also being tiled and the mechanical and electrical elements that will play a vital role in the building’s day to day operations are being installed.

The redevelopment of the centre will see a refurbished gym, café and swimming pool as well as a new learner pool and health suite.

It will also include additional activities such as a bowling alley, soft play and a Ninja Tag gamified obstacle course.

Councillor Nick Coultish, portfolio holder for culture and leisure said: “We’re all so excited in Goole for the centre to open. It’s going to be great to have a new leisure centre but also things to do with friends and family like the bowling and Ninja Tag which will give people the chance to come together and enjoy themselves.

“It’s great that the community are getting involved, we’ve had public votes to name the soft play and also the bowling which will be called Dockyard Bowl.

“This is going to be a fantastic facility for Goole, while it has been a wait for it to be completed it will be worth it and it’s great that this coincides with the bicentenary year of the town.”

The initial build of East Riding Leisure Goole is due to be completed this summer and handed over to the council for the final fitting and interiors. The centre is due to open in late Autumn.

The building is being funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council with a contribution from Goole Town Deal.

Councillor Coultish added: “We do a monthly newsletter so anyone who wants to keep up to date with what is going on inside the building can sign up and watch the regular videos.”
