This refurbishment reflects our promise to create high-quality, accessible spaces for residents of all ages and abilities. We can\u2019t wait to welcome members back to see the transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"2025\">Councillor Kurtis Crossthorn, chair of the council\u2019s communities, parks and leisure committee, added: &#8220;This is another big step in our mission to make Sheffield\u2019s leisure centres welcoming, inclusive and fit for the future. The modernised gym and recovery space will give people even more reasons to stay active and connected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2258\" data-end=\"2523\">The Hillsborough investment follows recent upgrades at the English Institute of Sport Sheffield and Concord Sports Centre, which benefited from a combined \u00a3750,000 revamp earlier this year, and a \u00a3110,000 makeover at Heeley Pool
