The London Borough of Redbridge has opened the doors at its new £5m leisure centre.
Facilities at the Mayfield Leisure Centre include a six-lane, 25m pool and a health club with a 40-station gym floor and a multi-purpose group exercise studio.
There is also a synthetic, 3G floodlit football pitch, multi-use games area and sports hall.
Operated by leisure trust Vision on behalf of the council, the project received a £750,000 National Lottery grant through Sport England's Strategic Facilities Fund.
The opening is part of the council's leisure strategy, which will see a number of investments being made to improve facilities in the borough. In addition to Mayfield Leisure Centre, the council has submitted plans for a new leisure centre in Wanstead and refurbished a community swimming pool at Loxford.
"We are determined to improve swimming and sports provision across our borough and I’m proud that we are once again delivering on our manifesto commitment to do so," said council leader Jas Athwal.
"I hope the scale and quality of these state-of-the-art facilities will encourage residents, of all ages, to take part in physical activity and take control of their health and well-being.”
