Beacon Leisure Centre in Burntisland reopens after closure due to ‘drainage issue’

The Beacon Leisure Centre in Burntisland has reopened after issues with the drainage system caused the centre to close.

A message issued by the centre on Facebook on Monday evening confirmed the closure.

It read: “Due to unforeseen circumstances the Beacon will be closed until further notice.

“All areas.

“Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.”

A follow-up posted shortly before 9pm added: “Due to drainage issues we are temporarily closed.”

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust confirmed that the centre had reopened on Tuesday morning.

Operations manager Sharon Johnstone said: “We understand how important the Beacon Leisure Centre is to the Burntisland community.

“Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that the facility is ready for use again. We appreciate the public’s patience and understanding while we worked to resolve this issue.”

At one time, the centre had been under threat of closure but its future was eventually secured in 2021 with a £1 million programme of refurbishment.

Safety concerns then forced the temporary closure of its flumes in August 2023 before repairs were made.
