We have already completed a new gym, toning suite, studios and external floodlit sports pitches, and still to come is the opening of the rest of ‘Evolution Extreme’ – which will be a climbing wall, climbing tower and a five metre high rope course. Deeside Leisure Centre is an excellent facility for all the people of Flintshire and the surrounding area.”
