Project Scope & Locations

The facilities provide a great opportunity for the surrounding areas and communities in Belfast, and hopefully, the next young sports stars of Northern Ireland will use these facilities across:

 

– Andersontown Leisure Centre

– Avoniel Leisure Centre

– Brook Leisure Centre

– Lisnasharragh Leisure Centre

 

Particularly focusing on Avoniel Leisure Centre, Dowds were involved the redevelopment of their existing centre. This comprised of a community sports hall and gym facility, grass pitches, 3G and an associated changing pavilion. The scope of works for the new centre involved the construction of a new two-story sports leisure facility which now includes the following: Multi-function rooms, Multi function studios, Group changing facilities, Multi-use tenant space, Meeting / Function room facilities, Admin office area, External 3G pitches, External main 3G sports pitch, External secondary 3G sports pitch, External 5-Aside sports pitches, External 5-Aside covered sports pitches.
