Refurbishment plans for the Kilkeel Leisure Centre, totalling £3.3 million, are currently on display for the public at the centre.

Contractors are expected to be on site in 2025 to commence the project, which will include the upgrade and expansion of the facility.

The refurbishment will feature an extended state-of-the-art gym area with the latest fitness technology, a new fitness class studio for a wide range of classes, an upgraded reception, improved pool changing facilities with more family and accessible rooms as well as new lockers.

The roof will be fully repaired and the exterior will be modernised to better withstand coastal conditions.

Discussing project, Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Pete Byrne, said: "The £3.3 million investment in Kilkeel will deliver a contemporary leisure centre with cutting-edge gym equipment and a modernised pool area, which will undoubtedly draw visitors to the area.

"I am excited to see this project completed and look forward to both residents and visitors benefiting from these improvements."
