A LEISURE centre has unveiled a new water slide following its recent investment.
Windsor Leisure Centre, on Stovell Road, opened its Tornado slide this week, just in time for the February half term.
This comes after a £550,000 investment at the site by not-for-profit organisation, Leisure Focus Trust, which runs the leisure centre.
It now has three types of slides as well as water rapids, water cannons, water features for young children and the Windsor waves.
Councillor Ross McWilliams, lead member for leisure services, said: “The Royal Borough has invested in providing this fun and fantastic new facility, which adds to the wider expanded offer at Windsor Leisure Centre.
“The opening of the slide during the school holidays is most timely and I’m sure it will prove to be popular with families and encourage even more people to get active in the leisure pool.”
As well as the new flume, Leisure Focus Trust also invested in the centre’s new restaurant, The Avenue, which opened last weekend.
And a new indoor cycling studio of life fitness cycles was also unveiled.
Leisure Focus chief executive Mark Camp-Overy added after a difficult period for the industry it’s great to see the leisure centre full with activity again.
”The new speed flume, with its integrated light design, is the latest addition to the leisure pool experience at Windsor,” he said.
“Leisure services play a vital role in helping people of all ages within our communities stay healthy and active and this has taken on added importance as we emerge from the coronavirus pandemic.”
