Work begins on multi-million pound Doncaster Dome project

Alliance Leisure has started work on the £14 million redevelopment of the iconic leisure complex, Doncaster Dome, for Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust.

The leisure development specialist is leading the extensive refurbishment and upgrade of the Dome’s popular Lagoons area. The project aims to modernise the pool complex, while preserving the character of the Grade II listed building, which opened in 1989 and was listed in 2023 becoming one of the youngest listed buildings in the country.

The Dome’s Lagoons area closed in November 2024. Completed in two phases, the initial phase of the refurbishment will focus primarily on essential maintenance works and upgrades to enhance the overall functionality and efficiency of the centre. This includes removing and replacing ageing M&E systems, including pool filtration and ventilation, stripping out the existing flumes, water play equipment and changing area, and refitting the plant room. Renovation of the pool hall roof, glazing and flume tower will also be undertaken. Several new features will be introduced to enhance the visitor experience. These include two new racer slides and a new indoor splash play area for families with a variety of interactive water features, designed by Myrtha Pools. The changing village and toilets will also be refitted
