Our History

On 1 October 1965, Bell’s Sports Centre Ltd was created, and in launching, set in motion a series of exciting milestones that would shape the path of sports and leisure in Perth and Kinross. From its ambitious start as the city’s first dedicated sports centre to its current position, the story of Live Active Leisure is one that stretches over 50+ years!

The company celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2015. This was testament to the dedication, passion and commitment of hundreds of people, team members, managers, chief executives, Board of Directors, partner organisations and of course the people of Perth and Kinross.

From 1965 to the present day, Live Active Leisure remains an integral part of the economy, civic infrastructure and quality of life across the 2000 square miles of Perth and Kinross and beyond.
