Decent pool, waves, mini slides and the sprinklers make it fun for the kids. Shame to see the flumes continue to be out of action.

Still a great leisure centre. I used to come here around 30 years ago — unbelievable how time flies! I’ve now started playing badminton here on Tuesdays with my son, which is fantastic. Great place and I’d highly recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bravo!!!! I haven’t visited in 20 years and knowing how old the building is (and the challenges in maintaining a swimming facility) my expectations were low. I could not have been more wrong. The changing rooms were modern and clean, with lovely showers and free hairdryers. The pool and everywhere else I saw was clean and has clearly been updated and looked after. I did notice that the gym appeared to be a load of gym kit thrown in a section of a sports hall but I didn’t look further so there may have been a more permanent offering. If you want the wave pool and slides - check the timetable as they are not always in use
