Oak Tree Leisure Centre in Mansfield has done it again.

It has won the Regional Club/Centre of the Year (Midlands) award at the ukactive awards for a second successive year.

The centre is operated by Mansfield District Leisure Trust (MDLT) and its operating agent, Serco Leisure.

The partnership also runs the Rebecca Adlington Swimming Centre, Water Meadows Fitness and Swimming Centre, and River Maun Recreation Centre, all on behalf of Mansfield District Council.

Geoff Waller, chairman for MDLT, said: “This is tremendous news. We were overjoyed at winning in 2018, but to return in 2019 and win again is extra special.

“This result is testament to the hard work done by so many people at the centre. This is a proud moment for MDLT.”

Coun Andy Burgin, portfolio holder for the environment at the district council, said: “This is great news — not just for the leisure centre staff but for our residents who enjoy the many different sports and activities on offer at Oak Tree.

“The council is committed to providing opportunities to enable residents to live a healthier lifestyle and improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

“We are proud to have such high-quality facilities and dedicated staff in our district.”
