Work to upgrade sport and fitness facilities in Broxburn, West Lothian has been completed.

More than £180,000 was invested to improve and revamp Xcite Broxburn Sports Centre and Swimming Pool.

Features include transforming the Centre's entrance, foyer and waiting areas into modern and welcoming spaces for users, giving the venue a new lease of life. In addition, the changing rooms have been refurbished and a new PA system installed throughout, as well as new flooring, external decoration and landscaping.


The Swimming Pool has also been extensively re-development and now features a new changing village with better pool access, new cubicles, a décor update and an upgraded softplay area for the Xcite venue.

The council is also nearing completion of essential repair works to the Sports Centre's roof.

Cllr Dave King said: "The recent re-development of Xcite Broxburn Sports Centre and Swimming Pool has delivered first class leisure facilities for Broxburn.

"Customers of both facilities will appreciate the wide range of improvements, which will benefit local residents for years to come."

Dr Cindy Brook, Chair of West Lothian Leisure Board, who run Xcite, added: "The recent project in Broxburn's two Xcite venues at the Sports Centre and Swimming Pool marks a major investment in the town to update the facilities and to secure the provision of their local sports and swimming activities."
