leisure centers

Community fitness buildings

Leisure centers are public facilities offering recreational activities—typically swimming pools, gyms, sports courts, and fitness classes—under one roof.

The term is primarily British; Americans would say recreation center or community center.

The council announced plans to build a new leisure centre in the town.
