Brough Park Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Clean gym with a variety of cardio and weight equipment.
Fantastic experience: My daughter goes swimming here. Great instructors
Fantastic experience: The Florence Band today was very enjoyable and well attended. A beautiful afternoon. Sunny and warm.
Positive experience: Small swimming pool with the toddler pool adjacent. Changing rooms and shower facilities on site. Gym, 5 aside football other facilities available they obviously accommodate more than what I'm reflecting upon.
Negative experience: Card only dissappointed
Positive experience: The leisure centre reception area is fab. Staff are friendly. The changing areas need revamping the pools need major upgrades they have been like that since 1980s. The water temperature is beyond a joke. Its freezing. To be told its body temperature who's body is it based on.
Positive experience: Great park just needs something more, also you can only use card payments here which is ridiculous where not in covid times anymore make the leisure centre take both cash and card like it did before just doesn't make sense otherwise great park swimming pool need be alot bigger cause is lame il be honest and be more fun in rudgeyard lake
Negative experience: Inflatables sessions are a waste of time and money.
Negative experience: The worst gym I've ever stepped in. 3 poor benches, one poor excuse for a squat rack, mis matched weights everywhere. the weights are tired and worn, the cable machines are rusted and it's absolutely tiny, no where to dead lift if there's more than 6 people in there good luck doing a workout. all for the insane price of £33. I tried to cancel due to not receiving an induction as per their OWN terms & conditions yet refused. Save your money and go to one of the CHEAPER and better equipped/maintained gyms in Stoke.
Fantastic experience: The center in Leek, although a bit worn out, is still a great facility. It features a full gym and a swimming pool with a good-sized kiddie pool. There's also a cafe area and viewing seats to watch the kids. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are friendly. The center has disabled parking and changing rooms, and the staff are always willing to assist with getting to the pool or setting up a chair lift for pool access. There are lockers too for swimming that need a ten pence which is returnable and also lockers that you can use for the gym but you do need your own lock
Fantastic experience: Fab facility
Fantastic experience: Staff are wonderful there, everyone is very friendly and approachable! Lovely facilities and wonderful location!
Fantastic experience: Great service, the staff are exceptional especially the male swimming teacher Steve, he's so fantastic at what he does! Great gym, atmosphere and fab location!
Fantastic experience: staff are great very friendly & the classes are fab!
Positive experience: Great leisure centre with pool gym etc My son does fencing here with a fantastic club
Positive experience: Great staff and facilities at the leisure centre. The only fault I can find is the loud music they insist on playing during the public swim. As a spectator and as a swimmer it makes the time less than relaxing
Fantastic experience: A beautiful 15 to 20 minute walk with big incline and decline walkways Good play area for kids and tennis courts for adults Paid parking
Fantastic experience: New park, skate park brill for the kids
Thank you for your kind review.
Positive experience: Good area, multi sports facilities
Negative experience: Old fashioned, a little grubby & far too expensive. If willing to travel into Stoke or Newcastle under Lyme, there are some amazing facilities for the same or very similar price.
Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool
Positive experience: I have been going to the gym here for around 9 months. The facilities itself are really clean and good, The staff are friendly and welcoming. However the wifi in the gym doesn't work and there is never any signal, This really needs sorting,
Fantastic experience: First class leisure facility. Booked the main hall (5-a-side footy) for a group of under 12’s. The lady that took the booking was excellent. Adam was superb setting us all up ( thanks for the bibs) and a big thank you to the young lad who administered a bit of first aid on one of our players. Can’t recommend them highly enough. I’ll be booking again in the future.
Thanks for the positive comments. We will pass them on. So glad you had a good visit
Positive experience: Nice centre, gave blood there.
Fantastic experience: Took our grandson here and had a great time
Positive experience: Pol warmer and cleaner now

Thsnk you for your kind review Pat.
Positive experience: Only went in to get a drink
Fantastic experience: Lovely tennis courts and really nice to see the bowling greens, that are well used. it's all free. so why don't you take your children or yourself down there for a cheap and enjoyable day out. maybe take a picnic!
Positive experience: Nice friendly place.
Positive experience: Children pool to cold.
Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool, absolute heaven in this weather. Very friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: This is far the best park we've taken our 3 year old grandson to , it's absolutely lovely & we can't fault it , so much to do. Can't wait to take him again & to add take a picnic along too ... Definitely be spending more time on our next visit . There is a swimming pool on site & roller skating also ... shame all parks are not to this standard .
Positive experience: Brill getting back into the place abd fetting used to it beunf blind cos wasnt as bad before with eye sight

Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool and gym ️♂️
Positive experience: Not very big When built,It should have Been made a lot bigger Considering Were it is up the Park But that's the County Council, For you
Fantastic experience: First time at Brough park gym and I have to say I really enjoyed it. The place is spotlessly clean and staff are really helpful and friendly
Thanks so much for your positive comments. If you require any help with anything please let us know as we want you to continue to enjoy your experience.
Fantastic experience: Took the grandson for his weekly Saturday football Coaching session. Taught by qualified coaches. Great for building social skills with other children.

Fantastic experience: Nice place
Positive experience: It ok
Fantastic experience: Looks good although I didn't go in
Positive experience: Very nice to walk around with your dog, very well maintained, and a playarea for the kids.
Fantastic experience: Swimming pool was busy with The Leek swimming Club using the pool. Very nice to watch young ones enjoying learning
Fantastic experience: Brough Park Leisure Center Is Run By Enthusiastic & Knowledgeable Staff, And The Facilities are Kept In Good Condition. My Only Gripe Is That The Pool Always Feels Freezing, I'm Not Sure There Is Much They Can Do About That Though. The Gym Is Clean And Has A Wide Choice Of Equipment and the classes are pretty good too. If your looking for a local gym/baths that are open early till late, this is the place for you. BPLC is A Community Interest Company. Which Means After Paying Their Overheads The Surplus Should Go Back Into The Community, Or Used To Make Their Facilities Even Better. We Highly Recommend This Place.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous Leisure Centre. Lots of equipment spaced out so you feel safe. Friendly and experienced staff who are always happy to help. Spotlessly clean with lots of sanitising items available. I'm very happy to attend.
Positive experience: I'm sure it will get back to normal eventually. The cafe being closed still is unwelcome but hopefully will reopen soon.
Thank you for your comments. The cafe is open in a self serve capacity for hot drinks and grab snacks.
Fantastic experience: Great.
Fantastic experience: excellent pool and leisure facilities.
Thank you for your comments
Positive experience: Very helpful staff..
Fantastic experience: Good play area for kids
Positive experience: Local and well run council leisure centre.
Positive experience: Nice to walk the dog around. Few people don't like to pick up after there dogs as usual. Kids playing on the skate park don't worry about litter as oblivious to making a mess ? Perhaps a well placed bin all around skate park and bandstand would help... or would it....
Fantastic experience: Swimming is what I love and, after returning to Leek; following years of working around the country, I have returned to my old baths for more of......well. Swimming! Now I have increased my membership to full for gym, badminton, table tennis and squash courts access. All good so far.
Hi Chris Thank you for the positive feedback on the centre. All off the staff really appreciate it and love to see you back swimming. Thank you Andy
Fantastic experience: Clean and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: It's open again. Main pool is not the warmest but if you are doing lengths it's comfortable
Fantastic experience: Great park here, skaters climbers, picnics walks, nature, it's just lovely
Fantastic experience: A very safe place to go during thses strange times. The staff have worked so hard to put social distancing and cleaning routines in place.
Negative experience: I love the leisure centre but I'm making down for refurbing the pool agreed the lock down, I needed it for my own physio after my hip replacement
Fantastic experience: Very quiet just how I like it
Fantastic experience: It’s one of the most beautiful park I’ve seen lately. Big area for relaxing dog walk, sunny or shady, flowery bushes, trees, lake, you can anytime sit on a bench and admire the nature. There is a skate park also.
Fantastic experience: We enjoyed a lovely walk through the park, a wonderful relaxed place with nice friendly people around
Fantastic experience: Glad we discovered this. Lovely area for a walk (with your dog). Dog friendly cafe. Toilets. Free parking. A very short distance from the motorway, so an ideal stop off.
Positive experience: Childhood memories of dledging hide snd seek tarzan swings and conkering
Negative experience: The astro pitch is really good but the gym isn't brilliant, the pool is very cold and who builds a pool with a wooden roof?
Hi Bruce. Thanks for taking time to review the centre. Could I ask when you last used the pool as we have increased the temperature recently and its one of the warmest public pools in the area. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and some good bargains
Thank you for your positive review.

Fantastic experience: Great day walking round with dogs
Negative experience: Bad that s LEEK for you
Positive experience: Nice public leisure centre. Food..drink and public toilets available. Staff are friendly...gym..squash courts..and indoor hall used for badminton and Karate lessons etc. Swimming Pool water is cold and it seems the temp of the shower water has also been turned down (noticed on my last 2 visits...cost saving I imagine). Changing rooms and the toilets within them could be cleaner.

Fantastic experience: I love this place suits all ages has some good events on too
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place and wonderful staff
Positive experience: Great place for an exercise class, my favourites so far are Body Blast, Zumba and Yoga, although would quite like Yoga to be on an evening instead of during the day so I could go more often as I work full time.
Fantastic experience: Good facilities and friendly staff. Not the cheapest but with the membership you get free swimming and usage of the sports hall for badminton/table tennis/squash etc so if you do that a lot it is definitely worth it.

Positive experience: Nice place for swimming with the kids
Positive experience: They've sorted the swimming pool out now the water is warmer but still need to get some air conditioning or fans that work in the badminton area
