Used to be elite when I was little but now. All of a sudden they’ve taken swim floats and toys out of a family swim in the baby pool. When I questioned the receptionist she muttered “we’re not morley leisure centre or holt park active”… your a active Leeds and still should operate the same as its sister leisure centres instead you have a seperate float swim in the big pool which is no good for my 8 month old. He loves playing with floats and bath toys in the small pools at Morley and holt park centres I thought bringing him here would be great like my childhood was and even had my school swimming V lessons here. But no, gone right down hill and you’ve let down the next generations

Really nice and clean feel in changing rooms. Pools are tidy and clear. Only issue is with all the revamping, the floor is still in a state of disrepair and mouldy. Otherwise great swim time

I’ve been attending this leisure centre for over a year now, and I’m really disappointed that the same issues still haven’t been fixed — especially this out-of-order hairdryer. It’s been broken for months (if not longer), and even now that it’s winter, nothing has been done about it. It’s frustrating for regular swimmers and students who rely on basic facilities like this after sessions, especially when it’s cold. It gives the impression that the centre is more interested in making as much money as possible while spending the least they can on maintenance and customer care. After a year of the same problem, it’s clear that customer comfort and health aren’t being prioritised. Really disappointing from a place run by the council that should be looking after the community.

That's the worst swimming pool I have ever been to. It's very disappointing. It's old, small, the showers smell like urine, and the lockrooms are not clean. There are also plasters and hairs in the grids at the bottom of the pool... It costs £5.70 for 1 hour, which is very expensive for that kind of service. I do not recommend it.
