New sport hall opens in Berwick Sports Centre 

 
A fantastic new multi-purpose sports hall has been opened in the new Berwick Sports Centre. 
 
The 20 x 24 metre, four-court hall has a sprung wooden floor and can be used for a wide range of uses and activities including 5-aside football, netball, badminton, martial arts and volleyball. 

The opening of the hall marks the completion of the new centre, with only the car parking area and landscaping now to finish. 

This week customers of Active Northumberland who had been using the sports hall in the Old Swan Leisure Centre moved across to the new, fully accessible facility. 

Northumberland County Councillor Jeff Watson, cabinet member for health lives said: 
“With the dark nights now upon us and winter approaching, the opening of the sports hall is great timing and will enable sports enthusiasts to dodge the inclement weather and stay on schedule with practices and events.” 
 
Mark Warnes, Chief Executive of Active Northumberland added: 
“Since the new centre opened at the beginning of the year, its popularity has gone from strength to strength, and we’ve had some fantastic feedback from our customers. 

“With the opening of the new sports hall, the final aspect of the main sports centre building is now complete. 

The hall can be hired by anyone - individuals, groups or wider community sports groups so anyone interested in using it can enquire at reception or ring our customer service line.” 

Demolition of the old Swan Centre will start this week and is anticipated to take around twelve weeks. 

A new car park will then be constructed with spaces for 175 vehicles including additional electric vehicle charging points. 

Mark Warnes added: 
“We apologise that parking is still a bit tight at times, but please bear with us as the end is firmly in sight. “ 

To enquire about hiring the sports hall ring 01670 620 200 or call in at the centre reception.
