WORK is underway on a South Ayrshire Council project to deliver an upgrade and extension to Troon Leisure Centre.
The project, which is due for completion in spring 2027, features a host of Scottish firms assembled by Alliance Leisure – including Thomas Johnstone, Holmes Miller, Struer, and Wallace Whittle.
A ceremony marked the beginning of works, with the project set to deliver a new gym; new building frontage, entrance, reception, and circulation area; a refurbished wet changing area; new dry changing area; baby change facilities, accessible changing, and toilet provision; and alterations to external parking, access, and landscaping arrangements.
South Ayrshire Council’s depute leader and policy lead for commercial/operational services, councillor Alec Clark, said, “I’m pleased that works to modernise and expand Troon Leisure Centre are underway. This is the latest in a series of upgrades we’re making across our Sport and Leisure facilities in South Ayrshire, showing our commitment to investing in and improving our services.”
Jo Cameron, Alliance Leisure delivery manager, said, “By working with trusted, Scotland-based partners, we’re ensuring the Troon Leisure Club upgrade is delivered with local insight and expertise. Together, we’re creating a sustainable, future-ready facility that supports health, wellbeing and social connection across the whole community, and we’re really pleased to see work underway.”
Frank Foy, project director at Thomas Johnstone Ltd. commented, “This project brings together a strong team with a shared focus on quality, coordination and long-term value. As works get underway, our role as main contractor draws on our specialist experience in delivering building extensions and refurbishments within live environments. We’re pleased to be working closely with Alliance Leisure once again, alongside South Ayrshire Council, to deliver a well-considered solution for the local community.”
