McLaren Community Leisure Centre

Fantastic experience: Great place!

Fantastic experience: Great 2hr soft play facility. We will definitely come again.

Positive experience: Went today with my Son, his partner and my Grandson to us the playsoft facilities. It was quite, but there was plenty of space for him to run around. Overall, I was impressed!

Positive experience: Very clean and very friendly staff

Positive experience: They have a decent swimming pool here. Really handy for those wet days! A good range of armbands, floats and pool toys were available. We also found it surprisingly quiet for the Easter holidays. The pool is a little unusual as the deepest part is in the middle, but that didn’t really bother me us. The baby pool is really small and for just the much smaller kids. The cafe however was very busy and slow - so we bailed out.

Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre with friendly staff. Regularly use the co-working space, cafe and pool.

Fantastic experience: The best soft play and coffee ☕️

Fantastic experience: Clean smart leisure centre in a pretty village.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful asset to the area

Positive experience: Attended a training meeting here. Well-equipped room, but rather cramped and cool on a cold and frosty morning.

Negative experience: If I could give 0 Stars I would, we went to the cafe and saw a woman take a hot dog through to the soft play, I asked for a toastie and she said that they weren't serving hot food, and they were only serving breakfast rolls even though it was 1 o'clock!!!!!! I'm really angry about this and I hope the staff get told off

Positive experience: Byłam na meczu u wnuka

Positive experience: Nice place for a swim, changing area well organised

Fantastic experience: A community leisure centre that doubles as school PE facility. Contains gym, climbing wall, leisure pool and reception downstairs. Leisure pool is good for families maybe not so good for those who want to swim lengths. Upstairs are a couple of large rooms that can be made into one large room. Has been used for Taekwondo tournaments in the past. There is a soft play area Upstairs as well which seems popular. Upstairs also has spin bikes and a cafe. Cafe sells a range of sweet treats and sandwiches. Facilities were used for changing and toilets at recent Run Mhor marathon so is a real community facility available to all

Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre

Fantastic experience: Decent pool and quite warm

Negative experience: I had to play £10.20 for a basketball court for myself (15 y/o) when they are sponsored by active Stirling, I work and thats 2h of my wages gone bc of the price of a bb court that isn't even set up right, the basket was all over the place. This is a shambles and has ruined my day, like man £10.20 can get u a lot of things man. The 3g pitch is good and the swimming pool is good but come on im 15 playing £10.20 when ur main Sponsore is active Stirling, no wonder children are getting fatter man, bc they canny let weans into play. Honesty not coming back outside of school and am raging now!

Fantastic experience: Julia now runs her Yoga classes here. Can't speak highly enough of how she has slowly transformed my life on so many fronts. Hard to think of a better teacher to sort out your body issues and get your mind refocused. Takes weekly commitment though!

Fantastic experience: We have been in the trossachs toddler group which was great. My daughter enjoyed it a lot.

Fantastic experience: Swimming pool gym helpful staff

Positive experience: A bit of maze. Typical of the modern generation of large school based community hubs in Scotland

Positive experience: This a great alternative swimming / soft play venue for those wanting something a little calmer and a bit quieter than, say, the variety of options on Stirling. Swimming, cafe, soft play (recently renovated and excellent) and a visit to the centre of Callander can easily fill up a whole Sunday. Aside from the the climbing wall is great, and again, provides a nearby alternative to similar more busy venues.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. Clean, friendly and HUGE value for money!

Negative experience: For the 5- 10 minutes that I was there, I was not very pleased with the staff, I think they were not to polite and we had gotten thrown off the Astro when we had came with permission, they had no excuse for kicking us so they made one up, I gave them a star only because u couldn’t give a half
