Trust confirms opening dates for sports and leisure centres

The Trust has been working hard to get facilities Covid-ready and will re-open its doors on September 14 – the date previously indicated by the Scottish Government’s Covid-19 Route Map.

It will roll-out a phased re-opening programme to ensure the safety of customers and staff which will see Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre in Glenrothes, Carnegie Leisure Centre and Pitreavie Athletics Centre, in Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre opening doors first on Monday, September 14. These will be followed by East Sands Leisure Centre, Levenmouth Swimming Pool and Sports Centre, Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre and Dalgety Bay Leisure Centre on Monday, September 28.

The next phase will see Duloch Leisure Centre, Cupar Leisure Centre, Bowhill Swimming Pool and Waterstone Crook Leisure Centre welcoming customers on Monday, October 12, followed by the Beacon Leisure Centre on Monday, October 26.

The trust will release details of its online booking system, programme timetables and new customer app soon.

Emma Walker, chief executive of Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: “Although our sites are ready, it takes a significant level of preparation to make facilities, such as swimming pools under the new Covid regulations, available to the public. So, we will re-open on September 14 with adequate staffing levels – as some of our staff are still furloughed – and, teams who have received the necessary training in Covid protocols, along with booking systems and programmes fully available for our customers.”
