Negative experience: Hi we play game today and 3.pm and I left pitch 4.30 and I was in reception 4.40 And they told me they close and I said is 5 pm close but they didn’t let me have change no nice disappointment

Positive experience: Tucked away and confusing to find, this leisure centre is functional. If you want a squash court, badminton court or general sports hall like you'd get in any secondary school, this is it. They have a bouncy castle and play equipment for children's parties in the hall, and a "cafe" area for the food. It doesn't do food generally though. There's a very small gym which is pleasantly empty a lot of the time. There's free parking, and a bus stop outside the main gate. There's theoretical disabled access but it is locked so you'd need to ring to ask to be let up, reception is on the first floor.

Negative experience: Kids liked the all weather pitch albeit a little small. Miles away from the parking and with a lot of steep steps.

Positive experience: Staff were friendly and helpful. Would say it looks like it's a bit run down and out dated but the football courts were kept to a good standard. Couldn't help us with cans at the end of the day but not sure that's their job, would have been nice.

Fantastic experience: Great sporting place

Blake Gaggles 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The view!!! Facilities aren't bad either

Chris Currie 3 years ago

Positive experience: Played Badminton here. Funny little car park which was poorly lit on these dark winter evenings... Odd little entrance down the side of what feels like a small work yard... However, the Leisure Centre itself is well kept and the sports hall made the perfect badminton venue. Watch out for the extra admission costs if you book online.
