The first of Belfast's newly refurbished leisure facilities has opened to the public.

The Olympia on Boucher road is part of the Leisure Transformation Programme which will see Anderstonstown, Brook and the Robinson centres all revamped.

Council officials say the total cost will be more than £100m over ten years.

The Olympia has cost £19m and today's official opening was performed by the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Alderman Brian Kingston.

He was joined by the council's Chief Executive Suzanne Wylie and Gareth Kirk, GLL Regional Director the company which will operate the new facility.

Meanwhile, the old leisure centre at Boucher Road is due to be demolished to make way for games pitches.
