Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre
for NHS Blackpool and Blackpool Council

FY2 0JG
The Leisure Centre comprises high quality gym and fitness facilities, a Sports Hall and a new Library totalling 2242 sqm connected to the swimming pool.
The Primary Care Centre provides accommodation for 3 GP practices, a range of community outpatient services, community nursing, dentistry, pharmacy and a cafe which sits within the shared 2 storey atrium linking the health with the Library and the leisure facilities. The surrounding 3.5ha park land has also been transformed with major improvements made to walkways and landscaping, together with new play areas and a multi-use games area. The design has sustainability at its core, meeting a 15% renewable energy target. There is a gas powered combined heat and power plant and the site is designed around a sustainable drainage system (SUDS).
The different requirements, expectations and aspirations between the Council, PCT, GPs and other building users was only achieved by a strong partnership built up at the early stage of the project. The project was handed over in June 2011.
