Adventure is coming to Prestatyn this Autumn with the opening of a ‘first in Wales’ digital fitness experience, climbing wall and interactive squash court.

Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) are once again bucking the national trend and investing in a new adventure hub and junior fitness facilities.

Following the success of Nova, as DLL’s premium Leisure destination, Prestatyn leisure will take training to a new level with a brand new Prama interactive fitness studio, revolutionising the junior fitness programme and delivering an innovative circularium for students.

First of its kind in Wales, Prama is an immersive and interactive group exercise concept where sound, lights, floors and walls come to life to motivate and guide you through a unique training experience.

The new technology on site will also see an immersive Squash experience, bringing the sport into a new era and making it accessible for all.

A Clip and Climb climbing experience will also be added to Prestatyn Leisure, adding a new attraction to DLL’s already extensive portfolio of family friendly adventures.

Jamie Groves, Managing Director of DLL, said: “We are investing in the next generation with top digital technology to innovate junior fitness. The new Prama studio will take PE and fitness training to the next level, creating a digital fitness experience packed with interaction and engagement for all ages. This new investment will bring Prestatyn Leisure into a new era, showing our commitment to investing in the community and the wellbeing of our members and customers. Following in the success of Nova as an attraction, including Club Nova, Beach Hut and our adventure play, we’re proud to now bring adventure to Prestatyn Leisure. We are pledging our support to the community and education by providing this new interactive hub for young people in the area.”

Neil Foley, Headteacher at Prestatyn High School, said: “We’re thrilled to be part of DLL’s next investment, this project will truly revolutionise the PE programme, modernise the curriculum and take fitness training to a new level. We’re proud to be working in partnership with DLL to be the first and only High school in North Wales with a Prama studio, and cannot wait for the work to start this imminently. This along with the new climbing walls and interactive squash will add a complexly new and exciting dimension to Prestatyn High for current and future pupils.”

In addition to the new technology and exciting new adventure plans, Prestatyn Leisure will also have a DLL Refuel station installed with Costa Coffee and a relaxing member area.

On 29th March, DLL will be celebrating 50 years of Canolfan Hamdden Huw Jones, their leisure site in Corwen.

Originally built as a swimming pool, the facility opened on 29th March 1974, following a campaign by then Councillor William Roberts.  Councillor Roberts was adamant that the town needed somewhere for local children to learn to swim, after two tragic drowning incidents occurred in the nearby River Dee. 

The leisure centre, managed for many years by Cllr Roberts’ son Adrian, was extended by Denbighshire County Council’s Leisure Services (Now DLL) to include squash courts, a fitness suite and an outdoor 3G pitch. 

In 2020, the facility became part of Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL), who have continued to invest in this popular local facility, refurbishing the facility throughout, including pool hall, circulation areas, a new functional training area with sector leading equipment from the Technogym Skill Range; as well as the addition of a new studio area for group exercise classes.

In 2021, Corwen Leisure Centre was renamed Canolfan Hamdden Huw Jones, in tribute to another popular and well respected local and County Councillor, who sadly passed away in 2020.  Huw Jones was dedicated to the Corwen community and as Denbighshire County Council’s Lead Member for Leisure played a very important role in improving and developing leisure across the county.

Canolfan Hamdden Huw Jones now boasts a 20m swimming pool, a fitness suite which includes a range of Technogym’s Excite Cardio equipment, and Tanita total body analyser, first floor functional training space, glass fronted squash court, functional studio, and outdoor pitch with 3G surface.

DLL Managing Director, Jamie Groves said “We are exceptionally proud of Canolfan Hamdden Huw Jones and the service it offers today.  Looking back across 50 years, the facility has seen many developments and improvements, and now offers a first class leisure provision to residents and visitors to Corwen.  The site has a reputation for offering a friendly, professional service and this is reflected in the many fantastic testimonials we receive from our members.”   

Councillor Alan Hughes said “Denbighshire County Council are delighted to see Canolfan Hamdden Huw Jones reach such a fabulous milestone, and the site continues to be a hugely important asset to the town of Corwen and surrounding neighbourhoods.  Although they now deliver a wide variety of leisure activities, the team on site still work incredibly hard to deliver a very comprehensive swimming lesson programme, and I am sure Cllr William Roberts would be very proud of their success.”   

A brand new interactive fitness studio is coming to Denbigh to give fitness members a 180 degree digital experience, revolutionising the class programme and providing a first class and unique training studio.
