White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre, Abingdon
NOTE April 2024: Contractors have been appointed to install the multi-million pound major energy-saving work at both White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre and Wantage Leisure Centre. This will involve the installation of insulation, new windows, solar panels, air source heat pumps and external wall insulation. Once completed, the measures are expected to reduce the council’s overall carbon emissions by more than 25 per cent. This work is expected to be completed by March 2025.
This also follows the installation of solar panels and air source heat pumps at Faringdon Leisure Centre last year. Those measures should save around 500,000kWh of energy over a year – the equivalent to the annual electricity use of 135 houses.
Abbey Meadow outdoor swimming pool
Abbey Meadow outdoor pool is open during the school summer holidays, which is its busiest and most popular time.
The pool is run on our behalf by leisure specialists GLL, who have a contract to operate all our leisure centres and facilities – you can recognise them by their green ‘Better’ logo.
The Abbey Meadow outdoor pool and splash pad are now closed for the summer season and will reopen in 2024.
You can find out about memberships and prices by visiting ‘Better’ memberships on the Better Uk website If you sign up for ‘Better’ membership you will also be able to use the facilities at the following leisure centres in South Oxfordshire.
