88) Leisure and Fitness Centre

This £13 million facility opened on the Aberavon seafront in January 2016. Essentially, it was built as a replacement for the Afan Lido Leisure centre, which burned down in 2009, and was demolished in 2011. The Council always promised to replace the Lido, even though this credit crunch, Granted, the old Lido had a full size pool, whereas the new Leisure centre only has a 25m pool. Having said that it is, to my mind, a far more appealing looking building, and it has an impressive range of facilities, and seems to be very popular, judging by the full car park at 8am on a Friday morning.
