Selby Leisure Centre is on the site of the former Abbey Leisure Centre, which suffered major damage in a fire.
Selby District Council and the operators Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust decided to demolish and rebuild the centre.
The new leisure centre is within a building that was developed to meet local needs, achieve a sound business model and to plug the gaps in the market.
The facility has been designed to have an eye-catching street frontage and includes a range of facilities, from swimming pools and gyms to a health and fitness suite and a multi-purpose activity hall.
