Droitwich Leisure and Wellbeing Investment

We are investing £15 million to upgrade Droitwich Spa Leisure Centre.

This will include a new extension to include learner pool, café, reception area and energy efficiency measures.

There will also be three new treatment rooms, the swimming pool and gym changing rooms will be fully refurbished, the pool surrounds will be retiled and the mechanical and electrical systems upgraded. Repairs will also be made to the existing roof and guttering.

The car park is also being extended to create 292 extra spaces and 24 spaces for bicycles. New energy efficient lighting will also be installed to the sand dressed all weather pitch.

Phase one of the project, to extend the car park, is already underway.

An £8 million redevelopment of Droitwich Spa Lido is proposed. This includes extensions to the Art Deco building, expanding the site and the introduction of a Brine Bath, new cafe and restaurant, spa and leisure offer.

A consultation on the plans closed in December. Coucillors will consider the proposal in detail early in the new year.

We have allocated £300,000 for a new skate park to replace the current one on King George V Playing Fields near the underpass to the Westlands, which is now 20-years-old. 

It is proposed the skate park will be built near to the leisure centre. The new park will be bigger and more in line with other skate parks in Evesham and Pershore.

Young people have been asking for a pump track for some time and we have made £125,000 available to make this a reality. It is proposed this will go next to the skate park.

Work started in May 2025 to upgrade the canal towpaht to create a health corridor which will link Vines Park to Ladywood Lock in Salwarpe, creating an accessible route that will increase people's access to nature and boost accessibility to Coney Meadow.

The towpath will be closed insections during construction which is expected to be completed by September 2025.

We have also supported the Canal & River Trust to enhance Coney Meadow reed bed and wetland to boost biodiversity on the site.
