[Craig Newell](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116149942420005184817/reviews) ★★★★★

Visited for a Brazillian Jiu Jitsu competition in which my 10 year old daughter was entered. Facilities modern clean well laid out and seem to cater for most sports. Whether it was down to the centre or the organiser I dont know but the logistics were excellent. Quick and smooth check in and easy to find your way round. Temperature control kept the rooms comfortable. Much better than other places we have attended

Nice and big place where you can practice multiple sports, needs lots of updating and renovating like around the Olympic pool, toilets were clean but old fashion, I must say suit the purposes to practice some indoors sports. .

Attended a Jiu-Jitsu competition here recently as a spectator. The facilities were good—clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate the event comfortably. The viewing areas provided a decent view of the action, and accessibility was well thought out. That said, the layout was a bit of a rabbit warren, and finding my way around wasn’t the easiest. But once I got my bearings, it was fine. Overall, a solid venue for a sporting event. Well-kept, accessible, and a good atmosphere throughout the competition.
