Local community invited to celebrate 10 years of Queen’s Park Sports Centre
Ten years ago, Queen’s Park Sports Centre opened its doors to our residents for the first time and has since grown to be a community hub for many different groups, organisations and individuals to use and enjoy.
This Sunday, Queen’s Park Sports Centre will be hosting an open day and is encouraging local people to come along and join them in celebrating ten years of the sports centre so far.
The open day will include a range of activities for all of the family from fitness classes to swimming lessons and vouchers will be hidden for customers to find, there’s loads to get involved in.
Councillor Amanda Serjeant, deputy leader of Chesterfield Borough Council, said: “It’s a genuine pleasure to be part of celebrating this ten-year milestone of Queens Park Sports Centre serving our communities. The vision we had for an inclusive space, providing activities to get people moving and bringing them together has been more than realised.
“I encourage anyone, especially those who may not previously have taken part in exercise to come along to the open day and take advantage of the activities on offer on the 11 January.
“Getting active has so many benefits both physically and mentally and it’s never too late or early!”
Visitors can enjoy a mix of free fitness classes, family-friendly activities, and sports tasters throughout the day. Highlights include:
-
Fitness classes such as indoor cycling, yoga, Body Pump, and fun sessions like Clubbercise
-
Racket sports with drop-in badminton and pickleball games, plus a family netball taster
-
Children’s activities, including pre-school tumblers and gymnastics-style play
-
Swimming tasters for adults and children, ending with a family splash session with floats and toys
There’s something for all ages and abilities, making it a great day to try new activities and get active together.
All of the individual sessions will be bookable in advance via reception in person, or by calling 01246 345 555. Fitness classes, racket sports and netball are available to book online
It is advised that sessions are booked ahead of your visit to the open day to avoid disappointment. Many of the sessions will be free of charge or low cost to mark the open day.
