Gainsborough Sports & Community Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Just enrolled today and was very impressed with the service l received from a staff member (forgot to take her name) on reception. Nice to deal with a human being instead wanted everything on line.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and facilities
Positive experience: Went here to watch and support the football team my grandson plays for. The team was successful with 7 - 1 win, my grandson scored 2. The many pitches are really well looked after which is a positive. So glad we had an early kick-off as the carpark was totally crammed when we left. Would have been nice to have facilities open, if there were any, toilets, refreshments etc.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Gainsborough Sports Centre! The facilities are clean and well-maintained, offering a variety of activities for all ages. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole visit enjoyable. I particularly loved the fitness classes—they're fun and motivating! A perfect place for families and fitness enthusiasts alike. Highly recommend checking it out!
Fantastic experience: Been coming here since I was 8 years old and love how it’s evolved over the past 28 years. I had my 8th birthday party here, attended after school football and badminton for years, even came to summer camp as a teen AND just had my sons 5th Birthday party with bouncy castles and soft ply area and it was worth every penny! The staff made it extra special and really engaged and played with the kids.

Fantastic experience: Had a recent work badminton competition here, and the experience was great. Nice courts with good lighting. Plenty of parking and the court fees are very reasonable.
Fantastic experience: We had a bouncy castle party for our child and some school friends. The hall, tables and play equipment were all clean when we arrived. Our party assistant was friendly, helpful and did a great job. The length was just right for the age group (4-5 year olds) as they had plenty of time to play as well as eat. We didn't feel rushed at all. The reception staff were friendly a d welcoming. Well worth the money! Would definitely recommend :-)
