Strikers, an indoor sports facility in Aberdeen, has launched a £400,000 phased refurbishment programme aimed at enhancing its facilities and strengthening its role as a multi-use sport and wellbeing hub for businesses, clubs and charities.
The programme began in March, with further phases rolling out over the coming weeks and months.
The initial phase of works is focused on strengthening Strikers’ core sporting offer. This includes the introduction of a dedicated multi-use indoor sports court, alongside the addition of a third padel court, building on the venue’s existing provision for the fast-growing racket sport. The new multi-use indoor court will support a range of activities including futsal, pickleball and many other indoor sports and activities.
Work on the refurbished function room is already underway and will be completed in the next phase, alongside upgraded changing facilities. The space is being designed for meetings, presentations and corporate events, providing a flexible setting for business use.
Strikers works with a wide range of partners, including sports clubs, charities and businesses, delivering sessions, events and programmes that support both physical activity and wider wellbeing outcomes. The refurbishment is intended to strengthen this offer and expand capacity across all user groups.
David Booth, director at Strikers, said: “This £400,000 phased refurbishment is about improving the overall experience at Strikers and opening the facility up to a much wider range of sports and activities. It allows us to create a more inclusive, multi-sport environment for people of all ages and abilities.
"We’re also developing the site to support greater business use, including staff wellbeing packages, team-building sessions, networking and corporate bookings that combine sport with meetings and events.
"Our focus is on delivering high-quality playing spaces alongside flexible areas that work for clubs, community groups and businesses alike.”
