About our leisure strategy

What is the Leisure Strategy?

Our leisure strategy is a suite of three facility-based strategies which look at the current and future provision of indoor sports and leisure centres, recreational open spaces and outdoor sport. The fourth chapter seeks to marry the facilities with the types of physical activities needed to support Central Bedfordshire’s residents in pursuing a healthy active lifestyle.

The Leisure Strategy is split into the following chapters with appendices.

Parish schedules

To show how the Leisure Strategy requirements relate to local provision, we've created a parish schedule for each settlement or group of settlements in Central Bedfordshire.
