The new £17.5m Sedbergh Sports and Leisure Facility is part of an ongoing investment programme by Bradford District Council to replace outdated and inefficient leisure facilities, with modern, purpose built amenities that better serve local communities and encourage greater participation in sports. This, new build, high spec centre will include a 25m and learner pool along with an 8 court sports hall, 80 station fitness suite, dance studios and outdoor pitches for football and rugby.

The project is due for completion in Summer 2019.
