Pellikaan delivering leisure boost for Farnborough

Working on behalf of Rushmoor Borough Council, Pellikaan Construction is progressing with the steel-framed Farnborough Pools and Fitness centre following a groundbreaking ceremony.

Alliance Leisure Services are overseeing the project on behalf of the council, and the scheme is due to be completed by the end of 2027.

Farnborough Pools and Fitness will have a 25m swimming pool alongside a learner pool with a moveable floor, a gym, two studio spaces, a spin studio, a soft play area and a café.

Councillor Gareth Williams, Leader of Rushmoor Borough Council, said: “It is exciting to see construction progressing and you can already see the footprint of our fantastic new swimming pool.

“Once complete, the centre will provide modern leisure facilities for swimming, exercise and family activities for the community in the heart of the town centre, and every milestone brings us one step closer to welcoming residents through the doors.” 

Karl Miles, Regional Contract Manager at Everyone Active, who has been appointed to run the new leisure facility on the council’s behalf said: “We’re really excited about what Farnborough Pools and Fitness will bring to the local community. It’s fantastic to see the project progressing and we’re looking forward to working with Rushmoor Borough Council to bring these new facilities to life.

“The centre will offer something for everyone, from swimming and fitness to family activities, and we can’t wait to welcome local people when it opens.”
