Ealing Council and Everyone Active have announced that that Southall Sports Centre will be closing on 31st March 2022

Southall Sports Centre is located on the site of Southall Community College (part of the West London College group), on Beaconsfield Road. All the buildings are owned by West London College.

West London College has given notice to Ealing Council of its plans to convert the sports centre building into a high-quality construction academy.

---

The academy will offer a range of vocational courses, apprenticeships, and other training, designed to equip students of all ages from the local communities, with the practical skills needed for good jobs in the sector.

Conversion works for the building are scheduled to commence during early Summer 2022 and the Council has been given notice to vacate the sports centre at the end of March 2022.

Ealing Council in partnership with its leisure operator, Everyone Active has managed and operated the sports centre on the site since it was built.

The Council, Everyone Active and West London College are currently working on the demobilisation plan for the centre.

Over the coming months, the Council and Everyone Active will work on a range of plans for existing customers, including clubs and groups to find alternative activity spaces at other Ealing leisure facilities.

Everyone Active has been in touch with all fitness members from week beginning Monday 6th December to discuss the membership options available to them for other Ealing centres. In the meantime, Southall Sports Centre will be available for use up until 31st March 2022, as usual.

They will provide further updates on which facilities and activities will be available. Thank you for your support through the years at Southall Sports Centre, we look forward to welcoming you at our other leisure facilities in the near future.

"So sad, this place is more than a sports centre it's like a home for one big family. It's changed my life and my health, I've met new friends and caught up with many old friends, always welcoming and such a great mix of people of all abilities. It may have not been state if the art but the staff and the people gave it a soul and purpose, something which most gyms just don't have. A massive loss for me personally and for the community. Will miss you." - Jags Sanghera

"This is a sad day for sports and fitness in Ealing and especially for the women of Ealing as it’s a very much needed ladies gym. Please replace it with more facilities as soon as possible as we have already lost Gurnell leisure centre so there are very few council run gyms (or ladies gyms) left in the west of the borough" - Zahida Ahmed
