Sport England has provided £1.5m from its Iconic Facilities legacy fund for the centre.
Sport England Property Director, Charles Johnston, said: "It is great to see work progressing with the Portway Lifestyle Centre.
"Through our Iconic Facilities legacy funding we are bringing the magic of a hoe Olympic and Paralympic Games to communities across the country so those inspired to give sport a go will have a first-class facility in which to do so."
