Active Oxford Park is a great centre if you are looking to get into sports, with a brilliant 3-court sports hall. You can hire for your own use, football, basketball and badminton!

All of our facilities are accessible for wheelchair users. We have ramps and lifts installed at each site. If you visit any of our centres, our staff can show you the facilities and discuss your needs with you.

Your card, your choice. Choice is a great thing in life, so you’ve come to the right place. With so many ways to spend your Active Choice Card you’ll never be stuck for fun family times, fitness and wellbeing times, Fuel cafes catch-up times and for those activity must-haves (forgotten the goggles, stylish swimwear) you can also spend it at our in-centre stores.

My family experienced the Hyper Bowling last week. My children absolutely loved it and wouldn’t stop talking about it, it was such great fun & good how any age can win. I was impressed by the price and how clean everywhere was…

The staff! I’d still use Active Hyde’s gym if the facilities were rubbish and the price was high. There is always a cheerful person on hand to provide help and advice, both on site and on the phone.

The gym and reception staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to assist… I would highly recommend the gym to anyone who is looking for a friendly, professionally run gym with a great atmosphere that caters to all ages and abilities.

I am grateful to the staff at Tameside Wellness Centre for understanding my difficulties, especially since they are invisible. But believing and supporting and being kind to me has made me more determined to continue with my passion for life and remaining active as best as I can…

Sara T 4 years ago

Negative experience: Came here before for my mum's vaccine and it was good, I went there today at 3pm as on the tameside Council website it says that there is a walk-in service from 8:30 until 17:30, however it was closed with no information or notice left on the door! A woman in the playground said that they were open until around 2pm so they closed early without leaving any sort of information. Tried to contact the council, they didn't answer the phone and spoke with someone using the live chat on the council's website and she said we don't have any information about it and don't know if the clinics timetable has been updated! Very unhappy with my experience today, a lot of people arrived there and left because it was closed
