Member Notice:
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, all Active Sefton Leisure Centres temporarily closed on Friday 20thMarch 2020, including Dunes Leisure Centre, Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre, Bootle Leisure Centre, Litherland Sports Park, Netherton Activity Centre and Meadows Leisure Centre. All activities including swimming lessons were also suspended until further notice, as well as all community based Active Sefton Programmes and sessions. All direct debit payments were automatically suspended and will remain so until further notice.
We are fully aware of the incredible value our Leisure Centres and wider activities hold for the health and wellbeing of our communities. However due to recent government guidance, these temporary arrangements are crucial to help in the next phase of the government’s plan to tackle the outbreak.
It is still very important to remain as active as possible during this time. We will continue to provide our online workouts, helpful hints, tips and guidance for residents via all our social media channels and recommend that residents remain active at a social distance utilising the outdoors where possible. These can be found on this site and on the Activate Fitness and Active Sefton Facebook pages
