Construction of the Middleton Arena was completed in December 2008 and the Arena officially opened for business on 4th January 2009. It was built on Corporation Street (since renamed LCpl Joel Halliwell VC Way) on the site formerly occupied by the Hippodrome Nightclub (previously The Empire Cinema) and the old civic amenity site. To make way for construction, the Hippodrome was levelled in August 2007. Operated by yourtrust (formerly Link4Life) the arena comprises a gymnasium, swimming pools, sauna and steam rooms, sports hall & squash and a cafe. https://www.yourtrustrochdale.co.uk/venues/middleton-arena/
