Crowborough Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Good
Negative experience: Not me, just drove past!
Positive experience: Lovely place and friendly staff lights in the steam room is not working
Fantastic experience: We didn't actually go in the leisure centre but the park behind. Loads of children enjoying themselves. Sandpit, seesaw, swings, and climbing area for the little ones. Zip wire, swings, climbing frame, caterpillar rope swing for the older ones. Plus a huge field to kick balls around and a bike track. There's a kiosk selling drinks, cakes, ice-cream etc We were only stopping off after a library visit and stayed almost 4 hours!!
Fantastic experience: Lovely spot for dog walks, fantastic views
Fantastic experience: Lovely lane swimming , clean pool , very positive experience . Polite team ..
Fantastic experience: There are so many things for children to do here and the grounds always seem to be well taken care of.
Positive experience: I had a lovely time swimming as also was not too busy. I felt a little hurried when the kids showed up for swimming club as the pool was getting set up for them before time was up. I will visit again but probably leave earlier to avoid the hassle of a bunch of kids and swimming instructor eager to start their lesson.
Negative experience: Really didn't enjoy my experience From cold swimming pool To broken sauna. Staff look deflated and whole place looks sad and definitely not appealing in Any way. Won't be returning Changes rooms Uninviting too
Negative experience: Very rude staff. I called ahead to ask if we can come to play badminton today I was told that we could come between then and 3pm. We arrived shortly after to be told that wasn’t true. The staff were very defensive and not very apologetic at all about a wasted trip. We felt very uncomfortable and judged by the reception staff.
Fantastic experience: Love the pool here! Great venue and the staff also seem really nice
Fantastic experience: I joined the leisure centre (Freedom Leisure) for 3 months to swim in the pool. There are several time slots during the day for lane swimming. Weekends are a bit limited (early morning only). It’s not necessary to book a time slot for swimming which is the case at other swimming pools. The pool and change rooms are clean. I used to swim here years ago and the centre has been upgraded now and looks good.
Fantastic experience: My daughter just had her 9th birthday party here - a pool party with the inflatable obstacle course. It was amazing! The kids all loved it and the management of it all was impeccable. Thank you for the "Best party ever!".

Positive experience: Went to the baby group on a Wednesday. Soft play in the hall. My little one Loves it but it's soooo cold in the sports hall. Make sure to wrap both of you up. Lots of things for little ones to crawl, climb and explore. There is push along cars too. It starts at 9.30!

Negative experience: Rude staff members and poor facilities
Negative experience: Dismal pool with almost no direct daylight. Never has proper lane lines, unlike the glitzy website photos. Never full resulting in very choppy water. Some staff boss you around like they're Kommandant in a state penitentiary rather than a business with paying customers. Most swimmers know nothing of lane etiquette, pushing off at a snail's pace right before you turn, blocking the wall for turns etc. Single entry expensive at £5.50.

Weekends can be very busy so please mention to a member of staff and we can clean off tables asap for a better experience. Freedom Leisure Team Crowborough
