Temporary Closure of Cookstown Leisure Centre
Mid Ulster District Council is advising residents that Cookstown Leisure Centre will be closed on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 December to allow for the replacement of the building’s mains water pumps.
During this essential work, the centre will have no water supply, meaning that toilets, showers, and heating will be unavailable, and the building cannot operate safely for the public. The replacement is being carried out proactively to avoid a more disruptive, longer closure should the current pumps fail.
The work must take place during normal working hours to ensure full building management support and safe delivery.
While Cookstown Leisure Centre is closed, customers — including those on household memberships — are welcome to use Council leisure facilities in Dungannon, Magherafelt, and Maghera at no additional cost.
Customers with swimming lessons scheduled during the closure will be contacted and offered either a refund or a discount on their next lesson block, based on their preference.
The centre will reopen as normal on Saturday 13 December.
A Council spokesperson said: “This short closure is essential to carry out critical water pump replacement that will ensure Cookstown Leisure Centre can continue to operate safely and reliably. Addressing this now helps us avoid a longer unplanned closure in the future. We thank all our users for their patience and understanding.”
Further updates will be provided through the Council website (www.midulstercouncil.org) and social media channels.
