Leighton Leisure and Community Centre is the town's brand-new leisure and community hub on Pursuit Way, operated by Everyone Active on behalf of Central Bedfordshire Council. It features three swimming pools - an eight-lane 25m main pool, a teaching pool with moveable floor for younger children learning to swim, and a shallow water-confidence pool for little ones taking their first dips - alongside a 150-station gym, group exercise and cycling studios, squash courts and a community studio. Families can enjoy family swim sessions, children's swimming lessons and the on-site Peak & Wild Cafe. Two Changing Places facilities are available.
