Improvements at leisure centres
Islington Council with GLL is carrying out improvements to the leisure centres:
- In February a trampoline park opened at Sobell Leisure Centre. This has a designated under-5s area, a main court arena, a battle beam, a 9-metre slide, a wipe-out system, slam dunk, diving board, foam pit and dodgeball area. The centre also has a new reception area and coffee corner
- Islington Council plans to redevelop Finsbury Leisure Centre to provide a new leisure centre, council homes, healthcare, childcare and energy facilities.
