Lincoln leisure centres reopen with new facilities and classes

Birchwood and Yarborough Leisure Centres have reopened after months of refurbishment, with both sites now fully operational and offering an expanded programme of activities.

The phased reopening began in July and was completed in August, with all indoor and outdoor facilities now available. At Yarborough, upgraded gyms, studios and communal spaces welcomed visitors on 14 August, following the earlier reopening of the pools. Birchwood had resumed activity a fortnight earlier.

This month marks the return of Yarborough’s Swim School, with sessions running three times a week. A new timetable of virtual classes has also been introduced, covering fitness programmes such as RPM, Sprint, Body Combat and dance.

Birchwood now has a fully equipped toning suite and is running additional gym and climbing challenges.

The reopening follows significant investment and improvement works carried out by the City of Lincoln Council in partnership with operator Greenwich Leisure Limited.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony on 11 September will formally mark the reopening of the two centres, which are set to remain key hubs for community health and fitness in the city.
