Demolition of Waterfront Leisure Centre for Residential Development: What Will Happen to the Recreation Spot.

Demolition of a Popular Recreation Center

The popular Waterfront Leisure Centre in Woolwich will soon disappear from the face of the earth, as it has been decided to demolish it and sell the land for residential construction. This facility has been an important part of the community's life since it opened in 1988.

Building Condition Issues

The building has sustained significant damage in recent years: some locals complain about black mold as well as that some water slides are no longer operational.

“This center was our second home, and I find it hard to imagine that it will no longer exist,” says one resident.

The demolition of the center has sparked protests among residents who believe that the loss of this facility will negatively impact the community and families in the region.

“Children spent Time here, and now it will just be desolation,” adds another local resident.

The local authorities assure that the decision to demolish was made after a thorough assessment of the building's condition.

The loss of the Waterfront Leisure Centre has caused outrage among many Woolwich residents, as this center was not only a place for recreation but also a social hub for families. This decision threatens not only access to recreational services but also community cohesion, which is especially important in today's reality. How events will develop further remains to be seen, while local residents continue to express their dissatisfaction with this move by the authorities.
