Councillor Tom Anderson, chair of Wirral Council’s tourism and leisure committee, said: “For many, exercise is a way to maintain physical and mental health.
“Being able to reopen gyms and other leisure facilities means that people can get back into enjoying the sports and activities they’ve missed.”
Outdoor facilities are set to reopen to the public at The Oval in Bebington during the week beginning December 14.
However, some centres will remain closed in the short-term as they are being used to deal with the pandemic.
This includes the indoor leisure facilities at Leasowe, The Oval and Woodchurch.
Strict safety measures will be in place at leisure sites across the borough to keep people as safe as possible.
