North Lanarkshire Council is progressing a £2.5 million investment programme at The Time Capsule in Coatbridge, bringing a range of upgrades to one of Scotland's best-loved leisure attractions.
Upgrades include new attractions and modern facilities
The programme includes a new themed tipping bucket attraction, modern health suites, an indoor Clip 'n Climb arena, upgraded changing facilities, improved pool surrounds, a new community space overlooking the ice rink, and enhancements to the soft play area.
Plans are also progressing to replace the popular water flumes later this year, providing new attractions for visitors to enjoy for years to come.
Council leaders highlight commitment and heritage
Councillor Geraldine Woods, convener of the communities committee, said: "The Time Capsule has been at the heart of leisure and family life in North Lanarkshire for more than 30 years, and this investment demonstrates our commitment to its future."
Jim Logue, leader of North Lanarkshire Council, added: "This significant investment is about protecting one of our most valued leisure facilities and ensuring it continues to serve our communities for many years to come."
Work scheduled for 2026/27
Work on the investment programme will be delivered during 2026/27, ensuring the Time Capsule continues to evolve as a modern leisure destination while providing high-quality facilities that support health, wellbeing and community life across North Lanarkshire.
The improvements build on recent investment that has already seen the waterpark fully restored, both lifts replaced to improve accessibility, and the gym refurbished.
