There was a host of fun activities at the grand opening of the Waddon Leisure Centre on Saturday.

The Crystals cheerleaders, from Crystal Palace Football Club, were at the leisure centre from 10.30am.

Those who attended the opening were able to get free health checks and gym tasters.

Youngsters had the chance to take on their peers on the It’s a Knockout style obstacle course. There was also an inflatable pool party for all to enjoy.

The new gym has 65 stations, more than 60 hours of group exercise classes on offer, two swimming pools and a crèche.
