The ten pin bowling alley at Salt Hill Park is to close on Sunday, May 7 - to make way for a new centre next year.

The new centre is expected to be ready next March and will have its own ten pin lanes in a separate area, along with a large soft play area for six months to nine year olds, ski plex zone for skiing and snowboarding all year round, trampolining zone, hire wire climbing zone and party rooms.

There will also be a cafe, bar and parking spaces.

Councillor Joginder Bal, Slough Borough Council's commissioner for leisure and environment, said: “The range of activities people can take part in is incredible and no longer will people have to schlep from one site to another to take part in fun everyone can enjoy – it will be right there, all in one place.

“For anyone worried about what to do with the kids while the new facility is being built, we have a whole range of activities planned by the Get Active team as well as the temporary ice rink and Montem Leisure Centre just across the road."

Work to create the new family activity centre will be undertaken on behalf of the council by Slough Urban Renewal (SUR) - a partnership between Slough Borough Council and Morgan Sindall Investments Ltd which is driving regeneration across the town including in leisure, housing, community and school buildings.
