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.

Clean, pool was decent temperature. My toddler had so much fun in the water fountain pool and the baby pool.

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
