The facility has been in the pipeline for 14 years and has finally opened its doors today to the town’s young people.

Speaking about the opening, chief executive Dave McNicholl previously told the Warrington Guardian: “The most important thing for us is that people recognise this as Warrington’s Youth Zone.

“So it’s about all the organisations that work with children and the young people being able to come here and have access to the amazing facilities.

“This is the 14th youth zone in the network across the country and it gives people in Warrington access to fantastic facilities that young people have across the country.”

There is plenty to do in the youth zone which has been described like a 'world buffet' due to the amount of things on offer.

But we thought we’d pick seven of the most exciting activities you can take part in at the Dallam Lane site.

Rock climbing

The charity's facility features a rope climbing wall that is fully accessible.

It boasts 13 ropes and an overhang.

Music room

The music room has various instruments that young people can practice with.

Trained staff will be on hand to assist.

A recording studio is also on site.

A 4G rooftop football pitch

Perhaps a highlight for many, Warrington Youth Zone has a rooftop 4G football pitch.

The sports hall

The sports hall is a hub for activities.

Up to four different activities can take place at a time in this room - with a trampoline, bungee strap and basketball hoop available.

Hockey, dodgeball, cricket and various other sports will be available too.

The training kitchen

The training kitchen features domestic equipment and accessible sinks and cookers - meaning young people can learn how to cook.

It also has a dining table that allows youngsters to experience and enjoy a family-like dining environment.

The gym

With lots of different equipment, there is something for everyone at the gym.

The boxing and mixed martial arts room

There is a boxing and mixed martial arts room.

Pads and gloves will be provided and fitness sessions will be hosted here.

According to Dave, this room provides the discipline of boxing in a relaxed space.

A membership will be priced at just £5 a year or alternatively entry will cost 50p per visit and the facility is aimed at young people between seven and 16 – and up to 25 for those with additional needs.
