The leisure centre and pool closed in April 2013 because of Sheffield Council funding cuts across the city.

A team of local volunteers took over the running of the centre and arranged for the main swimming pool to be refurbished.

A official opening ceremony is to be held tomorrow.

The sports centre offers an indoor bowling green, gym, multi-purpose sports hall and squash courts.
