Positive experience: I attended a Scottish Gymnastics event in which two of my Granddaughters were competing. A very impressive set up. A vast array of sporting facilities are available. Also there is an excellent playground adjacent to the center. The only negative point is that there is not a pedestrian crossing at between the main entrance and the playground. A busy road runs between the two.

Positive experience: Only popped in for booster vaccinations - jags went well!

Rhonda Barclay 1 year ago

Positive experience: This is a great facility, it's let down by the parking facilities. There is a large overspill car park but, presumably due to its poor condition, people don't use it so it gets chaotic at busy times as people try to park as close to the main entrance as they possibly can.

Elizabeth Mcguigan 1 year ago

Katie K. 1 year ago

Negative experience: Venue is great, car parking is a nightmare at the weekends. Give yourself between 30-60 mins extra to ensure you can get parked & walk to venue. Majority of the time there are no spaces in the carpark or overflow carpark.

Susan Macdonald 2 years ago

Positive experience: Went for COVID booster and flu jab. Be warned - if you have an appointment on a Sunday morning parking is an absolute nightmare, even with a blue badge! And if you are disabled or need to use the lift for some reason (the injections are being given on the 1st floor) you will need a code from reception!

Fantastic experience: Plenty of space in the car park. We took our daughter there at 10:30am on a Saturday for a dancing show (hip hop) and we were able to get parking no problem even though it was really busy when we got there. We were back at about 12:30pm and again at around 4:30pm/5:00pm and got parking with no problems. The facilities were great for the needs of our daughter and the rest of the kids there for the dancing show. The facilities for the parents and other spectators were great. Nice day out for our daughter. Highly recommended.

Nicola Graham 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Attended for vaccination but also the midnight walk for st andrews hospice, very spacious

J Slo 3 years ago

Positive experience: The play park across from the Sports stadium is very good. Aimee at kids from 3 - 13 in general. Adults will like it as it has lots of seats and places to play E buggies and bags. Make sure you walk (or run) around the running track. It’s all shiny and new and gives a strong nod to the history of Ravenscraig as it features steel works throughout. Also has world flowers, areas to walk. A wooden ‘hut’ that serves food and even outdoor exercise machines, aimed at older kids and adults x

John McInally 3 years ago

Negative experience: No one is there to answer the phone, myself and my colleagues had a work event on the football pitches. This was cancelled without knowledge, we turned up and i had to pay from my own pocket for the pitch we had already paid for. One of my female colleagues were also not offered any changing facilities. Would not go near this place better off using Wishaw sports centre in my opinion. Demeaner was totally unacceptable from the staff i would terminate my own staff for this type of attitude and conduct total waste of time

Taco 3 years ago

Negative experience: No one is there to answer the phone, its as if they don't want business tried 10+ times to call between myself and others to book a park with no answer we were given a credit for a pitch over a month ago and were told we cannot use it unless the employee that gave us it authorised it. surely there would be some sort of note somewhere to let them know when we called to use it. we were also given no receipt or reference number for the credit. totally unacceptable and a waste of time and money. Avoid at all costs

Fraser Abernethy 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Was watching my son's football team play on the astro pitches, the football pitch was clean no litter lying around. The cafe was nice and the food was too! Staff were friendly.

Robert AItken 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent sport venue. Just wish it had squash courts and a swimming pool. Plenty parking spaces. And disabled spaces spread in different pars of the car park. Staff are friendly and professional. There is also I cafe located up stairs. Lifts are available.

Rana McLernon 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility and easy to get to.

Rhonda Neilson. Martin 3 years ago

Negative experience: A large steel building that resembles an aircraft hanger..Journey felt like singing 'here we go around the roundabout, if you can pass the smount of colourful.graffiti. BTW spelling is not a strong point of person who enjoys covering areas in vivid red spay paint. Next the 'new play area' opened by Princess A.. It looks as if it has been there since the dinosaurs ruled earth! A big steel ++ of frames...at what cost I ask myself.. surely it could have looked better.. Throw on graffiti and wow a typical lanarkshire play area. I use term loosely!! North Lanarkshire Council voting is just days away. Wishaw is a drink & drug area openly swigging from a bottle of buckfast. It is the drink or drug misuse.. Graffiti art. Can you not be more productive than a non sensible signature. Motherwell you have links with centre.. use it.. back to ravenscrsig..aww flight snnounced.. oh well NLC if you want votes for any party on 5th get your act going & clean.off graffiti. You & parties state the moon served on a silver platter well.serve it now .

Gaynor Hynd-Hill 3 years ago

Negative experience: Bar prices were shocking to the point where the cost for the same round of drinks from 3 different bar persons was not the same each time. Contrary to the restrictions in place at the venue very, very few people were wearing masks when moving around the venue. A large area near the bar was littered with discarded drinks cans, food, plastic cups and spilled drink therefore very sticky underfoot. Although these issues are possibly more to do with the event organisers than the venue they did contribute to my experience. On the plus side the toilets ( ladies) were clean and well maintained.

Kevin McClure 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: An amazing indoor and outdoor athletic facility located minutes from Central Motherwell. Very affordable fees, award winning architecture.

Margaret Kerr 3 years ago

Positive experience: Enjoyed 1st visit to gym, although we walked around the outside of the building twice before we found the entrance. Reception is closed and the signs showing the alternative entrance stop about 200 yds from temporary entrance. No sign on door to show how to get into the building.

alison flynn 3 years ago

Positive experience: Took my son to a football game. Hadn't been there for years. Nice surprise seeing all the new facilities. Play park, cycle track, well equipped play part. Lovely area for picnic. Fabulous

Tama Sixsven 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Got the bus to the park ever half hour toilets and food place not open yet, my grandson (6) had a great time lots for him to do will be going back.

Thomas 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Massive complex. Lots of classes/activities for all ages and levels. General gym membership allows use of both a reasonably standard gym with all the normally expected equipment and a much lesser used power lifting/weightlifting area with multiple platforms and full racks. Changing rooms are decent. Football pitches are good with both indoor and outdoor spaces provided. Sports halls available for booking as well. Large modern (as of summer 2021) playpark right across the road. Huge, never full, car park as well.

Neil McNaught 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great sports centre offering a wide range of activities, from gymnastics to football to the outdoor running track and play park. The centre really provides a needed service to the surrounding area and produces top class athletes. Constant improvements to the facility keep the venue updated to provide a high level of service.
