It's a great shame as this could be a great facility. Not a very welcoming place, we found some staff unhelpful. Big flume not open due to lack of staff (staff member said this when asked) in the Easter holidays with swimming full of kids 🤷🏼‍♀️. No seats at the swimming viewing point which was frustrating as my elderly mother came with us to watch her gran kids have fun. It really needs a good deep clean and upgrade of paint etc. No films on in the cinema during Easter holiday🤷🏼‍♀️... again just doesn't make sense. Hopefully the council will upgrade this facility and put the money into it that it needs for the community.

Cheap and cheerful! Great for rainy days when the park isn’t looking too attractive! Pool is good, cafe nice and wee soft play is ideal 👍🏼

Good leisure centre, with swimming pool, sports hall, soft play, and a cafe. Hall courts can be booked for a hour (well, 55 mins), at fairly standard prices for non-members. Unfortunately the hall roof had leaked a bit following rain and heavy winds, but staff were quick to put down warning signs and mop up where possible.
