Waltham Forest Council has been working in Partnership with GLL for over 20 years and we are delighted to continue that partnership with the new flagship Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre. 

Waltham Forest Council was proud to be one the host Olympic boroughs and committed to improving leisure facilities by investing £34.5m giving us the opportunity to inspire a generation.

Since 2013, we completed the refurbishment of Walthamstow Leisure Centre, Leyton Leisure Centre, Leyton Gym, Leytonstone Leisure Centre and seen the rebuild of the old Waltham Forest Pool and Track into the new Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre in October 2016.

A new addition to Waltham Forest is Ridgeway Park Tennis Hub. The facility boasts 6 floodlit outdoor tennis courts, 2 mini tennis courts and a multi-use games area. The facility also has a pavilion in which our staff can give you all the hints and tips you need to get on court, whether that be simply having a hit on a court or having a lesson with one of our qualified coaches. If you love tennis or you just want to get into the game Ridgeway Park Tennis Hub is the place for you.

The brand new Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre is built where the former Pool and Track building once stood. The rebuild, which is one of the largest of its kind in London, will offer local residents a brand new leisure centre with state-of-the-art sport and health and fitness facilities. Ever since it’s opening in October 2016, it has rapidly become the flagship centre for Waltham Forest.

Apart from our leisure centres, Waltham Forest is well located for access to large open green spaces such as Epping Forest, Wanstead Flats, Chingford Plains, Walthamstow and Leyton Marshes. We also have smaller green spaces throughout the borough and many parks that have achieved Green Flag status. The combination of being a host Olympic Borough and Waltham Forest Councils investment in Green spaces, Parks and Leisure Centres - will lead to a lasting legacy, of residents living healthier and more active lives.
