Newport Centre

Newport Centre was a leisure centreinNewport, South Wales. The Newport Centre was located in Newport city centre on the west bank of the River Usk adjacent to the Kingsway Shopping Centre. It held events such as concerts, international business conferences and art exhibitions.

The centre hosted the Welsh Open snooker tournament from 1992 until 1998, and also from 2005 until 2014. The centre also had suites overlooking the leisure pool and elsewhere; The Riverside Suite, Castle Room, Kingsway Suite, Usk Room, Treetops Suite, and the Emlyn Rooms.

Fitness[edit]

The centre had a leisure pool with flume and wave machine. A multi-purpose sports hall had facilities for badminton, netball, tennis, basketball and volleyball. There was a "Solutions" fitness centre and health suite with a sauna, Jacuzzi and sun bed. The centre also had function rooms available for hire and a cafeteria.

Facilities[edit]

Proposed closure[edit]

In February 2021, after COVID closures, with the facility (particularly the pool area)[1] falling into disrepair ("...plans to reopen the pool safely were found to “involve significant cost”, which is said to be a key factor in keeping the facility closed, and in forming plans to eventually replace it."), a plan by the council has been approved to demolish the centre to make way for educational facilities.[2]
