Our comment from FitFit UK about Rutland Sports Park:

Rutland Sports Park in Ilkeston offers a diverse range of facilities for sports enthusiasts and families alike. Users appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, who consistently contribute to a welcoming atmosphere.

Rutland Sports Park: Opinions

Stuart Evershed 1 year ago

Positive experience: Quite a good sports park, but the lift was not working and the Men's toilet/changing room/shower room needs proper ventilation. Smells a bit! Otherwise, reasonable facilities.

claire beardsley 1 year ago

Negative experience: It was good for my first year in fitness but you will need something more professional it's not the best

dennis bamford 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It's great place and the staff are very friendly and helpful there is all the equipment you could need.

Christopher Morrell 1 year ago

Positive experience: Took.my 5 year old to a birthday party in the Tennis Court building, set up with a very large bouncy castle so the nutters could run around fighting and constantly complaining and crying that they had been hit by another child, bruises and thick lips all round, oh what fun! They had fun though....

Andy Morley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great for 5 aside footy.

Robyn Constantine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We had a party for my sons 2nd birthday on the 8th October 2023, we had originally booked the bouncy castle, soft play and football nets, but was then offered the new animal Olympic castle and soft play set as this was up and running for use! When we got there, everything was set up ready for us, the bouncy castle and tables was set out for buffet and children. I did require more tables due to the amount of food we had and they went and got us more without one complain. The lady who oversees the party was lovely, very helpful and happy, helped us set up where needed so we was ready on-time. They also allowed us to use their speaker for music during the party. The bouncy castle itself was big, we had 12 children at the party ages 9 months to 5 years, and there was more than enough room for them all and more if required. There was soft play section within the bouncing area with air jugglers, Velcro jigsaw, and more, was perfect for our under 1’s to have a play out of the way for the older children. The children soon learned what the air jugglers did and used the balloons we took to give themselves extra entertainment! This is where all majority of the guest was also able to sit and watch their children happily play! It also helped to keep the children in one area of the sports hall and able to ensure they didn’t try and leave the area! Overall we had a wonderful party, it was perfect for the variety of ages we had, all the children and guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we will book again for his next party!

Charlotte Brocklesby 3 years ago

Positive experience: Great for cycling

Lloyd Robert Stone 3 years ago

Positive experience: As a leisure centre facilities go, this is deffiently among the better ones I have experienced. Safety: Gym / cardio equipment is well spread out to allow for distancing and all visitors can grab there own spray bottles and wipes from the entrance. Kit: reasonable Verity band selection of kit with little duplication, some squeeky bits that sound like maintenance could be due. Price: with access to this facility and others in the group the price of just under £30 is well within reason and day rates competitive. Only real let down is the 8pm closing time which limits the public availability of the running track as well as making it a difficult place for shift worker's

Positive experience: Used to be the best place in the area to do children parties. Was always booked up and kids had a great time. Stopped over COVID but never restarted, seems very strange

Rebecca Richards 7 years ago

Positive experience: Rutland sports park has everything from gym and group classes to astroturf pitches and a running track. They are great with kids too too doing teen memberships and supervised sessions for them. I love the track it's a great place for novice runners and good runners. It loses a star cause the pitches for football are not in the best of condition and there's no pool (members can use the pools at other sites though)

Graham Beech 7 years ago

Positive experience: Ok a bit clicky

Christine Rungapadiachy 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Came here for a military style athletics exercise session. Used the track and the massive concrete steps to one side of the field. The facilities looked really good, there was a member of staff at the reception desk at 8am on a Sat morning, vending machine, clean toilets, plenty of parking - fab.

Nathan Bedford (Nathan) 7 years ago
