Although owned by Horsham District Council the building will be managed by Places Leisure, which ran the previous centre.

Sandra Dodd, chief executive of Places Leisure, said: "The local and wider community now have a modern state-of-the-art leisure facility that will encourage participation in fitness, sport and health over the coming decades.

"Together with Horsham District Council we are looking forward to welcoming even more members of our community to their new leisure home and hope they will enjoy all that it has to offer."
