Fantastic experience: Good place for badminton. We arrived 15 minutes before our court was booked to play badminton; they didn't make us wait and we were allowed straight into the badminton court without waiting. The prices are reasonable and the place seemed clean. The badminton court was very quiet and clean, and we played a good game of badminton without any disturbances.

John Tan 10 months ago

Positive experience: Nice park with river Tyne as backdrop. Great for a walk with family and friends.

Alisha Maroke 11 months ago

Negative experience: Awful experience booking in Badminton for today. Arrived 3 mins before scheduled arrival time and the whole place is shut, with no communication about this. We stated a few times that we'd be coming on Saturday, and were given the option of 3 or 4pm (so we picked 4, unbeknownst to us that it was shut). Abysmal service, complete wasted trip.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. I seen a comment about the toilets being dated and smelly. I can honestly say, yeah, not the newest facilities BUT this whole place is spotless. Cleanest gym I've ever worked out in and believe me I've been in many! I can't speak for the gents loos but other than that it's a 10 out of 10. Staff are awesome too!

Kathleen Tulip 1 year ago

Negative experience: Very disappointing visit to soft play. Worn out slippy dangerous facility badly repaired stuffing coming out of equipment. Taking 2 little ones at a cost of £10 total complete waste of money.

Fantastic experience: Was there for a Christening. My first time in the place and I have to say,it was immaculate and staff friendly and pointed out that there was a lift,bonus! Room was well presented and just a nice place for a special occasion.

Zurab Baduashvili 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Yes it is good place to do various sports activities. People are friendly there and always good atmosphere!

Katie Baker 2 years ago

Positive experience: Spent an afternoon here with my son and his football team participating in a tournament. It is a smaller set up than we have previously used for such tournaments, and weirdly has a pylon in the middle of two of the pitches which I found a bit worrying! The pitches them selves were well kept but definitely could have done with having the lines remarked prior to the tournament. Inside the centre however needs a lot of work - the ladies toilets were in a disgusting state, locks hanging off, no toilet roll, unclean and no working hand drier! The staff were friendly. I think it would have been a great opportunity for the centre to have a raffle during the tournament to raise much needed funds to update the changing rooms/toilets.

Positive experience: Not the most friendly of welcomes but it was a good little gym with well maintained equipment.

Joe Titterington 5 years ago

Positive experience: An old wall that looks tired. You have to pay for an induction. And so does everyone you go with. Even before you climb it's not worth the money. Maybe a few visits over a six month period. School groups abound, so phone ahead. It is however featured. Is it worth the journey? There's a nice pub next door. The blue lamp. Brew their own.

June Wainwright 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great kids' party here

wayne penrose 5 years ago

Positive experience: I have visited here for around 8 years now to use the climbing wall. It is really good value for money and very family friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit if you want to try climbing or if you are an experienced climber. If you are wanting to try climbing you must book a climbing induction. I have done various courses now with Chris the climbing instructor and have always found him a fantastic instructor.
