Positive experience: Great sports centre. No cafe facilities though which is a shame
Positive experience: Alright place as a whole I would say the improvements would be it there was a swimming pool inside the leisure centre and if there was football NETS on the pitches and when you go to play football there doesn’t seem to be any nets and the pitches are always burnt half of the time where people have had fires which is not very pleasant for the people that are ultimately wanting to have a good time.

Positive experience: First time I've been here. Playing football this morning. Cheapest out of all the places I've played. Clean pitches a bit of a walk away from the main centre. There was a dance competition on aswell at the same time so there was an issue with too many cars. Other than that it's a good sports and leisure centre.

Positive experience: not been yet needed to know where it is.
Positive experience: Decent 5-a-side pitches, they just needs nets for when the ball goes over! Also tends to be surrounded by kids who haven't paid most of the time
