Energise Leisure Centre designated as a 'Cool Space' to help York residents beat the heat

Energise Leisure Centre is providing a 'Cool Space' for anyone seeking respite from the heat.

As well as offering a welcoming, cool environment and tap water, Cool Spaces can offer an introduction to physical activity if so wanted - swimming and refreshments from the cafe can be obtained  (normal admission charges apply).

Available at Energise Leisure Centre:

Access to drinking fountains
Seating areas in cafe.
