Parkwood Leisure made a splash during June taking part in Drowning Prevention Week 2019. Parkwood Leisure have attended over 150 assemblies to raise awareness for this national campaign with the RLSS. National Aquatics Lead Suzanne Gabb (also a Trustee of RLSS) personally delivered some of the assemblies for the Water Safety Passport presentation.

Parkwood Leisure, one of the UK’s leading leisure facilities operators, has secured a new 15-year lease to run Grange Leisure & Community Centre, part of Stratton St Margaret Parish Council, from July 2019.

As part of the new agreement, Parkwood will receive £850,000 investment from the council to support the redevelopment of the Wiltshire-based facility, with plans to upgrade the gym including new equipment and a dedicated functional training area, plus two new fitness studios, alongside wider centre renovations.    

Parkwood Leisure were proud to host a ‘spade in the ground’ event, marking the start of construction works for Broughton Astley’s state of the art leisure centre. This project is being built as part of a major community enhancement, encouraging sports, well-being, fitness and family activities to all residents and general public in the surrounding area.

It is a fact that women make up are half the population, yet they are under represented within sport and the fitness industry. In the centenary year of women’s right to vote, the rise of social media’s #metoo and This Girl Can campaign it has become even more prevalent to highlight important female figures and how they shape both our workforce and our business.
