The new leisure centre is one of three new leisure facilities planned for the city, along with developments in Levenshulme and Beswick – bringing brand new, world class sport and leisure facilities to residents across the city.
Set to open in spring 2015, the new leisure centre will feature a six-lane swimming pool and learner pool, with sessions for adults, women, over-50s, children, after-school clubs, water-based exercise classes and aqua-natal classes.

The facility will also boast a state-of-the-art health and fitness gym, two squash courts and a sauna and steam room.
A community room and dance studio will also be built providing a flexible space for events and meetings including baby and toddler sessions and youth clubs.
The existing football pitches and outdoor changing rooms at Hough End will continue and it is hoped that they can be improved as part of a future phase of the development.
Local construction and engineering specialists Laing O'Rourke are delivering the project via the North West Construction Hub.
