FAQ's for Planned Improvements

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Why are these improvements being made?

    The investment will improve frequently used facilities, including changing areas, toilets, the Grangemouth health suite and dance studio, and family swimming features at the Mariner Centre. It also includes improvements to Mariner pool plant equipment.

  • How much is being invested?

    Falkirk Council is investing £1.46 million across the two leisure centres.

  • When will the work take place?

    Grangemouth Sports Complex is planned for January to March 2027. The Mariner Centre phase is planned for late March to May 2027, after the Grangemouth phase is complete. These are planned dates and may change as the programme progresses.

  • Will work take place at both centres at the same time?

    The programme is planned so that the Grangemouth Complex work is completed before the Mariner phase begins. We will update customers if the programme changes.

  • Will the centres stay open?

    We are planning to keep as many facilities available as possible, but some areas will need to close temporarily. We will confirm which services can operate during each phase before the work starts.

  • Will the swimming pools close?

    Temporary pool closures or timetable changes will be needed. We are confirming the arrangements and will publish the affected pools, dates and alternative swimming options before changes begin.

  • What happens to my membership or lesson payments?

    Payment arrangements for affected services are being confirmed. We will explain any applicable changes to fees, memberships or existing bookings directly to affected customers before the relevant service changes begin.

  • Will soft play and parties be affected?

    We will confirm any changes to soft play, toilet facilities and party bookings before the relevant work begins. Customers with affected bookings will be contacted directly.
