Our Charity

A charity leisure centre —
not council owned

Dalton Leisure Centre is owned by The Dalton and District Recreational Charity Trust. Rather than generating profits for shareholders, every surplus is reinvested into our facilities and the local community.

Opened in September 1987 by Princess Margaret, the centre was built through thousands of unpaid hours from local volunteers — a lasting example of what community commitment can achieve.

The blue frog

Good food, good company,
stronger community

Our friendly community café and hub overlooks the pool — the perfect spot to relax with a coffee after a swim, meet friends, or grab a bite between classes. All are welcome, members or not.
