Sport and leisure facilities re-open today as lockdown restrictions are lifted

WELCOME BACK

Hello, we hope you didn't miss us too much after our Easter break, and that you enjoyed the bank holiday.

The future of sport is looking bright here in North Devon, with our leisure facilities re-opening from today and the new Tarka Leisure Centre building now well under construction, due to open in just 12 months time! So today we thought we'd focus on that for this week's bulletin.....

We are excited to let you know that our centres in North Devon are now open. As per the Government guidelines, gym and swimming facilities have been reopened today and group exercise classes will hopefully return on 17 May.

On behalf of Parkwood Leisure we wanted to say a huge thank you for your loyalty and patience during this period. It hasn’t been easy for anyone and we are very appreciative of your continued support.

You will be able to book seven days in advance if you’re a member and five days in advance if you’re a pay-as-you go customer.

You can book sessions via the Leisure Centre app by going to the ‘Gym and Class Bookings’ tile.

Tarka Leisure Centre takes shape

And the new Tarka Leisure Centre is being constructed, we are following it's progress regularly and will keep you updated on all our social media channels with all the latest developments right up until the grand opening in April 2022!

Car park expansion also going ahead

From today works will begin to convert the lorry park at Seven Brethren into a new car park to serve the New Tarka Leisure Centre, Tarka Tennis Centre and Falcons Gymnastics Academy. The works are not expected to cause disruption to the existing car parking arrangements and lorries are asked to now use the new lorry and van park located adjacent to the old lorry park.

The leisure facilities are making sure they are Covid safe and you can help keep yourself safe too
