Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe (Bradford South) has officially opened The Zone - Huddersfield's ground-breaking new indoor leisure facility.
Situated on St Andrews Road, across the river from the Galpharm Stadium, it has close links to both Huddersfield Town and Huddersfield Giants and is the premier venue in Kirklees and the surrounding area for indoor sport and children's activities.
The Zone's aim is to get the local community active, with a particular focus on encouraging children to adopt healthier lifestyles and get into sport.
It is split into four sub-zones - the Learning Zone, the Gym Zone, the Sports Zone, which boasts two of the largest third-generation indoor pitches in Yorkshire, and the Kids Zone, which has the largest children's play structure in the region.
