Has been a great place for years but now too expensive for the run down condition. Such a shame.

Hello dalton leisure centre..my name is peter..I played Barry in a film called the Baths ..you can see it on you tube.. I just wanted to say I hope you get to stay open ..leisure centres are so important for community's..not just for swimming and other sports but also as a meeting place. I've always believed in leisure centres .both my sons learnt to swim ..and several foster children we've had who would never have been taught to swim .I have in place one now who is learning. I just hope you get to remane open..it's criminal in my eyes if it closes..Goodness knows we spend more on immigrants than we would keeping a pool open . Hopefully things will turn out good for you and the community of dalton. Best wishes P Quinn

Couldn’t have asked for better staff, the lifeguard that was on today was amazing. struggle with my little lad being non verbal and he made sure that he was comfortable as well as myself! Made the visit that little more easier and calmer.

We are not from this area, However we have visited Dalton Leisure Centre and we are extremely impressed with their staff and the clean facilities. We had an encounter with two young ladies I think they said their names were Lola and Emily. They were extremely helpful and welcoming. The café food is great for the prices and staff are so friendly. We 100% recommend coming here.
