🚧 Heads up, Macleod community! 🚧

Exciting improvements are happening right near Macleod Recreation & Fitness Centre, with works underway to remove the Ruthven Street level crossing 🙌

🗓 From 8pm Thursday 21 May to 6am Tuesday 26 May
🚫 Temporary road closures will be in place on:
• Ruthven Street (at the level crossing)
• Chapman Street
• McNamara Street (between Ruthven & Dunstan Streets)

✅ The big positive: removing the level crossing will make it safer, smoother, and easier to get to the centre in the future — meaning less waiting, better traffic flow, and more convenient access for your workouts and group fitness classes 💙

🏋️‍♀️ We’re open as usual, and you can still get here during the works!

👣 Pedestrian access will be maintained, and detours will be clearly signed for drivers.

💡 Please allow a little extra travel time so you don’t miss your session — we’re here and ready to keep you moving!

👉 Find more details here:

Thanks for your patience while these important upgrades take shape — it’ll make getting to us even easier in the long run 🙌
