With construction work on the facility almost complete, Farrans in conjunction with Armagh City Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council are currently installing ultramodern finishing touches that will set the facility apart from others across Northern Ireland.

Alderman Kenneth Twyble, Chair of South Lake Leisure Centre Project Board, said: "We were delighted to get on-site to see firsthand the progress of this truly magnificent centre. Everything in the building is of the highest safety and quality standard, leading the way in terms of modern leisure facilities in Northern Ireland. I have no doubt that this centre will be of significant benefit to our whole community, driving forward our agenda to improve accessibility to leisure services, and act as a catalyst to improve health and wellbeing standards for everyone in our community."
