‘A new lease of life’: Plans for leisure centre finally submitted
New tennis courts and football pitches, as well as a replacement skate park and BMX track, would also be installed to replace the site’s ageing facilities.
A statement attached to the planning application said Fearnville “is in need of redevelopment to ensure the east Leeds area has a high quality leisure and wellbeing provision, which is fit for purpose”.Under the plans, new children’s and teenage play areas would be built, along with “fitness zones” and a cycle path.More trees would be planted to enhance the surrounding woodland and a court for playing petanque – a game similar to crown green bowls – could be set up.
“It needs to move with the times and I think it’ll especially be great for the people of Gipton and Harehills, who’ll have it on their doorstep.
