Stirling’s Health and Wellbeing Opportunities Set to Soar
Active Stirling, in proud partnership with Stirling Council, is delighted to share an exciting update on the groundbreaking redevelopment project at The PEAK leisure centre – a transformative investment that will deliver a new era of health, fitness, and wellbeing opportunities for the Stirling community.
Owned by Stirling Council and operated by Active Stirling, a charitable leisure trust dedicated to delivering sport and physical activity services across Stirlingshire, The PEAK has been at the heart of community life since it opened in 2009.
First announced in 2024, the redevelopment project will begin this August and will double the size of the current gym, alongside the creation of two large, purpose-built studios for group fitness. These enhancements will dramatically increase opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to lead active, connected, and healthy lives.
This is more than an expansion – it is a full transformation. The PEAK will evolve into an even more vibrant hub where people can come together to exercise, socialise, and prioritise their wellbeing. The new spaces will offer more classes, greater flexibility, and increased access for people to get involved in fitness, no matter their age, background, or ability.
The PEAK Redevelopment Project marks a bold and exciting new chapter for Stirling. We are creating a space that truly meets the needs of our growing community – a place where everyone can find opportunities to improve their health, connect with others, and feel part of something special.
Demand for our health and fitness facilities has never been higher, and this much-needed expansion will allow us to support even more people to be active, happy, and healthy. We fully appreciate that there will be temporary disruption for our valued sports hall users including sports clubs, sincerely thank them all in advance for their patience while the work is being carried out and we will assist in securing alternative venue accommodation during this period wherever possible.
Amidst challenging financial times for the public sector, The PEAK Redevelopment will facilitate an operating model that can sustain and over time augment the myriad life changing and barrier breaking sport, physical activity and inclusion work Active Stirling expertly delivers throughout Stirlingshire. We are incredibly proud to be delivering this transformational project with Stirling Council for the people of Stirling.
This significant investment at The PEAK at a financially challenging time for local government underlines our ongoing commitment to change lives through sport and physical activity.
These fantastic new facilities will enable Active Stirling to give people of all ages more opportunities to participate in a wide range of fitness activities at The PEAK and across our communities, improving health and wellbeing outcomes.
We’re really excited by this transformation, which will give Active Stirling the agility to deliver world-class leisure services in the future and support the delivery of a refreshed strategy for Sport, Physical Activity and Healthy Living in Stirling.
Regular updates will be provided during the works by Active Stirling and any disruption will be minimised as much as possible for users. We thank them in advance for their patience and understanding.
