Fitness Centre as a lasting legacy of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
As the custodians of the Games’ community legacy — and of course, the much-loved mascot Perry the Bull — we are thrilled to see these facilities come to life for local residents. These improvements represent more than just bricks and mortar; they are a catalyst for stronger community engagement, healthier lifestyles, and greater access to sport and recreation for all. We can’t wait to see the positive impact they will have in the years to come.”
Lisa Dodd-Mayne, Executive Director for Place, Sport England, said:
“The legacy of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games still shines strongly in the city and wider West Midlands. We have a long history with Birmingham and the Alexander Stadium – one that that we’re really proud of. We are investing in partners and places that need the most help in getting people active. We look forward to seeing the local communities of Birmingham enjoy and use these facilities to give them the opportunities they deserve and seeing the legacy of the Commonwealth Games live on.”
