A new £1.1 million sports hub has opened at Yarborough Leisure Centre, following an official opening by Lincoln City Manager Steve Tilson. The hub houses athletics facilities, cycle track and other seasonal sports, six changing rooms, a meeting room, plus catering, training and social facilities. It also flexes its eco-friendly credentials by including air source heat pumps, solar thermal hot water and rainwater harvesting for its toilets, making it one of the most ecologically sound and cost efficient sports facilities in the country. Aimed local football clubs, as well as other teams, schools, and clubs in the city, and produced through a partnership between the Football Foundation and both Lincoln City and Lincolnshire County Council, Project Manager Antony Angus said: “The parents are absolutely thrilled with the facilities. It did evolve as it went along and we’re really pleased with the final result.” It also marks a proud moment for PCC Construction Services, who designed the steel structure and the foundations for the project.
