We aim to provide a range of sports and recreation services that meet or exceed corporate and local aspirations

The emphasis of our work is about enabling, working in partnership and identifying, creating and implementing opportunities that link to the Borough sport plans. We work within the context of the Kingston Council strategic aims, particularly those concerned with enhancing the quality of life and developing education and lifelong learning.

We are responsible for developing and promoting the local strategic aims and objectives for sport and for working with national, regional and local sports organisations, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), voluntary and private sectors to develop and promote strategies and initiatives for sport in Kingston.

      

We are also responsible for the contract management and client monitoring of the following leisure sites that are currently operating under private contractors:

• Hawker Centre
• Kingfisher Leisure Centre
• Kingsmeadow Athetics Track and Fitness Centre
• The Malden Centre
• Tolworth Recreation Centre

Our 6 key aims are:

• To improve the range and quality of venues for sport,
• To provide a wider range of sports activities;
• To raise the quality of sports events and activities;
• To overcome barriers to participation in the sporting life of the community and in accessing opportunities to play;
• To create the infrastructure for the sustainable development of thriving sports sectors;
• To build partnerships and networks to assist in the development of sports activities.
