Revamped Oasis plans could give Swindon UK's longest indoor ski slope
Swindon could become home to the longest ski slope in the UK as part of the revised plans for the multi million pound revamp of the Oasis Leisure centre.
In the new plans, the slope would exceed the current longest UK slope at Xscape Braehead in Scotland, which holds the record at 200 metres in length.
"This development will make Swindon the best indoor skiing venue in the country," said Keith Williams, Swindon Borough council's cabinet member for leisure and strategic transport. "Understandably there is a great deal of excitement surrounding the scheme and the leisure and employment benefits it will provide to Swindon."
The plans which would now include everything under one roof, feature the indoor ski slope, a 7,000-seater arena, leisure shops and facilities.
Later this month work will begin to refurbish the Oasis gym with 100 new pieces of equipment as part of a £2m refurbishment of the Dome.
On 1 April, Greenwich Leisure Limited took over the day-to-day management of the Oasis for the next 25 years. Prior to that the leisure centre was transferred from a Council-run facility to private ownership run by Moirai Capital Investments.
