Wandle Recreation Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I recently joined the gym at Wandle Recreation Centre and have been thoroughly impressed! The gym has a fantastic junior session that encourages kids to get active in a supportive environment. The staff here are incredibly helpful, and I want to give a special shout-out to Kim, who went above and beyond to assist us during the sign-up process. Her patience and knowledge made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this gym as a wonderful space for families looking to get fit together!
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, facilities and service.
Hi Ben, Thanks for the 5 stars! We will be sure to pass on your feedback to the team at the centre. Thanks, Maxine

Fantastic experience: I am learning Muay Thai. But there are many other options, gym, football fields etc. do check if they have other things apart from these in building. I haven't gone around a lot. But overall it's a nice place. Very close by southside mall and easy access.

Fantastic experience: Good football pitches here, there are some braindead players though…
Positive experience: Nice place. Friendly staff. Soft play smells like wee badly!!! Needs a good mop. Great soft play other than that

Thank you for the 5 stars :)
Fantastic experience: Very helpful thank you
Fantastic experience: Local pitch for the last 14 years. Good staff. Good pitches. Had my sons birthday here too. Fantastic.
Thank you for the nice review :)
Negative experience: One ‘lady’ that works here has severe attitude and is extremely rude. Lies about pitch availability as is lazy. Answers phone rudely.. will be making my way to make an official complaint.
Sorry to hear this, we will make sure it is fed back to the team. Thanks, Ellouise

Thanks for the nice review :)
Fantastic experience: Great facility with 3 small football Astros . Gym. Nursery.
Thank you for the nice review :)
Fantastic experience: Ooo
Positive experience: Very nice!!!
Negative experience: Terrible customer service. The staff don't know how to deal with customers. They are extremely rude and have a lot of innessissary attitude. Do not recommend them at all
Negative experience: These clowns double-book their badminton courts then ring you one hour before the appointment to cancel. Not even slightly apologetic either.
Positive experience: Good venue for private events, bday parties and sports. Friendly staff and good price for venue booking compares to what you can get nearby for same thing.
Negative experience: Really poor customer service. Have emailed several times, call several others, the person responsible is never in and never replies to emails.
Fantastic experience: I found the staff at the Wandle really nice and friendly and made me feel like I’m part of their family ever since I have been coming here for over 6 years. I recommend you come over and try out any activities of your choice no matter what time of the day you can come. I love this place to bits.
Fantastic experience: A great place with lots to do. The gym looks incredible and the different sports available is great
Fantastic experience: This review is only for the soft play as I’ve not done the other activities. This is a great play space for 3-8year olds. The heatwave makes playgrounds unbearable so being able to take my two young kids here is great! There’s air conditioning and a seating area. The play space is perfect for young kids. They had a great time.
Positive experience: Good place a very good gym
Fantastic experience: My 12 year old Son has been using the football pitches at the Wandle Rec for a number of years now, For football camps and personal training.The staff have been great! nearly always managing to get us a pitch, even at the busiest times. All the Staff at the Wandle are amazing but I would like to give a special mention to Sheieta and Kim for all their help and encouragement they give to Otis. Thanks You
Positive experience: Great spot for local football
Positive experience: Decent sports centre with soft play. Clean toilets and changing rooms.
Negative experience: One of its staff was terrible. I want to book a table tennis table on Sunday and she asked me what time. I said it doesn’t matter. Because I booked it several time and I knew there was rarely a place on weekends.Then she said it did matter and I had to wait another girl staff to deal with it. I thought she maybe didn’t understand how to do it and waited patiently for a long period because the girl staff was phoning. Finally the girl finished and I told her I needed book a table tennis table. It was so crazy that the first staff came to told the girl that I shouted her. She was utterly a liar. She not only couldn’t solve a simple booking, but also slandered the customer shouting at her. It was an utterly disgusting experience there.
Fantastic experience: Trust me Children will love this place
Positive experience: I would recommend friends and family members to this leisure centre!!!
Fantastic experience: Nice, quiet gym & very nice staff!!
Thanks for your review, this is great to hear and we will be sure to share with the team. Thanks, Chels
Fantastic experience: Pop by today to check it out and yes ,the guy at the front desk was cool will love to join
Fantastic experience: GOOD service
Positive experience: Good priced softplay often empty weekdays £3.50. Tumble tots in the main sports hall at back behind football pitch £3 tuesdays and thursdays. Bouncy castle and toys. Outside area needs some tlc
Fantastic experience: Good place
Fantastic experience: Good football pitch
Positive experience: GRRRREAT to be back at the historical site for football lovers. Nearly 20 years a returning patron, and the formerly refurbished pitches still maintain their standard. Yes, local development of the area has somewhat dampened the full joy of intense dopamine bonanza as the NEW residents claim and shout foul in the sounds of passion (quite unfairly if I may add). Welcoming staff and a clean site to visit. Missed you Wandle
Positive experience: Visited massage therapist who is very good.
Positive experience: Good friendly receptionists, nice facilities and well run place for football and sports
Fantastic experience: Covers everything
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Excellent 5 a side football pitches!
Positive experience: Very good
Positive experience: Great soft play
Fantastic experience: Awsome
Fantastic experience: Great local Astroturf. Played a few matches on this pitch over the years.
Fantastic experience: In regards to the review about a staff member using racial slurs and swearing, why would you not contact the centre manager about this?
Negative experience: Has wandle recreation reopened now and if not when does it reopen? Cos their websites rubbish
Negative experience: I enjoy wandle but I'm giving it a 1 star because of the staff. I went there last week with my dad and after asking to use the toilet I said thank you very quietly and the young lady didn't hear me so she started swearing at me then she wouldn't let us book for a later time because we were apparently showing attitude when she was saying racial slurs towards us and continued to swear at us even when we tried apologising she was too busy listening to music and I think she should be fired for the way she treated is customer service is extremely poor I do not recommend at all
Positive experience: Nice to chill here
Fantastic experience: Super
Positive experience: Really like the soft play here. New, clean and good diversity of stuff. Only problem is there's not much for new walkers and under. Bit dangerous to put them where the bigger kids are charging about. Would be nice to have somewhere small for little ones.
Positive experience: Good to keep kids active if it is wet outside, but very noisy when busy.
Positive experience: Good facilities, great pitch.
Fantastic experience: use to go to a Phil's football their great atmosphere and facilities definatley recommend this
Fantastic experience: Great place to do sports, gathering, child play. Near to mall and parking building
Positive experience: Five a side competition - pitches were okay but other facilities were a bit lacking.
Positive experience: I went for a children's party. The soft play room they have is great! Welcoming staff. They also have a party room for party meal and games. Something I thought they could really do with was a coffee vending machine and possibly few sandwiches. The party was two hours so I had to duck out and run to the Southside to cafe Nero and run back again. Would be great if they had a small offering onsite.
Fantastic experience: Ok
Fantastic experience: Love taking my granddaughter here. Lots of fun activities for her age (2YO) and very clean and safe.
Fantastic experience: Amazing brand new soft play very clean and friendly! Better than Eddie Catz etc and cheaper.
Fantastic experience: Excellent budget gym, great equipment.
Positive experience: Aikido classes, parking difficult.
Fantastic experience: My child goes there for Hapkido that is a kind of martial arts. Very nice atmospher and friendly saff.
Positive experience: Lovely quiet gym and open sports area for football and other sports
Fantastic experience: A gym with all the basics. No intimidating members. A place where you do your stuff and get out completely satisfied. Great members of staff. They call members by their names that's great customer service.
Negative experience: Having used this facility for long time, it still surprises me how dirty and run down it is getting. I would never use it for parties, especially if you are trying to impress others!!!! Every other area seems to have been upgraded except the rancid, dirty and smelly soft play area. And at £3 /child plus parties it is definitely a source of income.
Fantastic experience: Well equipped centre with a gym, astro turf football pitches, Sports Hall and a kiddies playhouse.
Fantastic experience: the right place to play a five a side within friends with all the facilities needed nearby
Fantastic experience: Nice recreation area
Fantastic experience: Great price and just what you need. Friendly staff even when I ask stupid questions.
Positive experience: Local leisure centre
Positive experience: Great Brazilian jiu-jitsu here.
Positive experience: Good fun
Positive experience: I've played footie here on and off for 10yrs. Floodlights are good. 3G always seems to be in pretty good nick. A bit pricey though. Has at least 1 big changing room, for those playing footie, with toilets & showers (although I've never used them) Staff seem ok, always oblige with pumping up balls etc. If you play on the side nearest the Wandle balls can fairly easily end up in the river.
Negative experience: poor customer service and out dated equipment.Not recommended at all.
Fantastic experience: Good Sai a
Positive experience: It was an good pitch and would go there again
Positive experience: Good venue for walking football. Several pitches.
Fantastic experience: nice place for locals
