Let's Celebrate Duston - Our Centres - Duston Sports Centre
Tue, 29th Aug 2023 00:01
Formerly the site of the old British Timken Sports & Social Club, DUSTON SPORTS CENTRE was taken on by Duston Parish Council and rebuilt to include a gym and sports centre for local people. It also has a café/bar and conference room that can be hired out.
The centre is managed by Northants Leisure Trust and has a great selection of classes and activities for all ages and abilities as well as a thriving 50+ club. There are discounts for Duston residents and membership allows you to use other centres within the trilogy group.
We enjoy a successful partnership with Trilogy Active who also work with St Luke's Primary Care Centre on a patient referral programme.
