Appreciate the feedback Nigel Parking prices are unfortunately out of our hands, food is provided through the athletics club by volunteers and not us. We plan to improve all of our facilities now we (Northwood Community Sports) have taken control from the council. We hope if you visit again, it is a better experience

gizmotriner Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: This place needs a large cash injection. As usual, Stoke is left with a substandard city and substandard facilities for the young. Maybe this new local conservative takeover can help improve this and other wrecks around the area.

Matthew Tunnicliffe Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: OK, I haven't set foot in this place for about 25 years but I remember it being a good athletics track and hear it still is. I still pass on my bike occasionally which is obviously why Google thinks I've been there recently. Update - I have been since but only for a Covid test so can't review the facilities. It still looks like a well maintained stadium and sports centre though.
