- A combined teaching and diving pool
- Splash pads
- A six-court sports hall with 250 spectator seats
- A 120-station gym with three studios
- A cafe/information hub and soft play area
Plans for Palmer Park include:
- Refurbishment of the existing stadium
- A 25 metre, six-lane pool
- A 100-station gym with three studios
- An activity zone for children with party rooms
- A cafe/information hub
Both have new parking, electric vehicle charging and cycle spaces.
