Exciting times in Llanelli! 🎉 The brand-new Canolfan Pentre Awel has finally opened its doors, marking the first phase of a massive £218m development project set to revamp the region. 🌟
This cutting-edge facility boasts a 25m, 8-lane swimming pool, a smaller pool, a hydrotherapy pool, and a state-of-the-art gym with panoramic views of Delta Lakes. It doesn’t stop there! Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy a dedicated spin studio, spacious dance and group fitness areas, and an 8-court sports hall. 🏊♀️🏋️♂️
Need a break after a workout? The on-site café offers a delicious selection of hot meals, snacks, and beverages. Plus, there are plenty of community spaces, green areas, and scenic coastal paths to explore. 🚴♀️☕️
Local sports clubs were first to experience this fantastic development with their open training sessions. The centre is part of a broader regeneration scheme funded by the UK and Welsh governments and aims to boost health, education, and economic outcomes across Carmarthenshire. 💪📈
Cllr Darren Price, Carmarthenshire Council’s leader, says it’s a shining example of community collaboration and a step towards reducing inequality and strengthening connections. 💬
And there’s more to come! Future phases will include 370 assisted living units, business spaces, healthcare and research facilities, and even a hotel. It’s part of the Swansea Bay City Deal, promising continued growth and innovation. 🌍🏢
