Positive experience: went to play ball here, at first glance, the place is multipurpose, the floor wasn’t wood or anything, but idk concrete? nonetheless, even though the place is old, still got good run here. Also, take note that the lines are a bit of streetball style.

Positive experience: Basic, but also cheap.. so.. The thing I don't understand is that they claim to be open 24h on the Pure Gym website, but this specific one closes at 10pm and it's closed during the weekends (?)

Matteo Bortolotti 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nice centre with many sport fields and a huge green area where you can spend some time with your dog. Unfortunately some of the young generations living nearby are quite destructive and makes it difficult to keep the place in an even better condition.

Akhlaq Razzak 3 years ago

Positive experience: It has good facilities but does need a refurb.

Zenbloke 3 years ago

Positive experience: It needs a complete and total overhaul it looks more like a fallout bunker than a sports centre perhaps building a new one is the way forward and having it a bit closer to the road would be a good move I was only there for a PCR test but the last time I set foot on there was about five year's for a birthday my child attended and although the staff where good the place itself feels tired and worn out then again it's been open since the mid seventees

Martin Ross 3 years ago

Negative experience: From the outside, this place looks more like a nuclear bunker. I hear facilities inside are good, but outside the young team run amok on motorbikes and quads. Could do with outside toilets for the football as they can't seem to be bothered going inside....

Staff are always on hand to help, there's also a gym with all the modern fitness machines and weights available

Negative experience: Appalling lack of parking for a sports centre this size. 40 odd spaces for a football game, martial arts competition and an 8 court badminton tournament!

Tanaka Zinoro 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Kane has a gym and I can't afford it right now because it's double the one you pay at Pure Gym but Kane has a gym that's very locally friendly; distance wise. They also have job vacancies that they leave inside on a chart board, they update them gradually depending on the lease or the demand of the role. There's a garden just at the entrance, with better care. That place could be such a site in the next 5 years. Offshore the Kane, there is field for football or rugby. Not forgetting that the Fort Kinnaird is just ten minutes walk to the NW . Thanks.
