Final plans for a new sports centre at the former Park School in Rawreth Lane, Rayleigh, are set to be unveiled later this month.
Rochford District Council's leisure contractor Holmes Place will be giving a presentation to the full council meeting on April 29, two days before the local elections.
The new centre will replace the sports hall at the old school which is being demolished for housing, a new primary school and other community facilities.
Holmes Place will be responsible for running the centre and has looked at a number of possible designs.
The idea of providing the long-awaited swimming pool for Rayleigh as part of the development was rejected by the council because of both the capital and ongoing costs of such a development.
However, a skateboard park to serve youngsters living in the West Rayleigh area is proposed as part of the final development.
