Sport & Recreation

Mission Statement

Health, Wellbeing and Quality of Life Through Recreation and Sport.

In January 2005, the Welsh Assembly Government launched its long term strategy for Sport and Physical Activity. The purpose of this strategy (Dringo'n Uwch/Climbing Higher) is that within 20 years sport and physical activity will be at the heart of Welsh life and at the heart of Government policy.

The essence of this strategy is to maximise the contribution that sport and physical activity can make to well being in Wales accross its many dimensions including health, the economy, culture, society, the environment and Wales on the world stage.

The Recreation and Sports section of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is commited to supporting this strategy with particular emphasis on reducing physical inactity and encouraging people to become more active in their daily lives. 

 

The Recreation and Sports Development Section is responsible for the operation of the Leisure and Community Centres within the County Borough as well as, Swimming Pools, Membership Programmes, Fitness Initiatives,  Sports Development and Playscheme Provision.
