This place has very quickly become extremely dated, Around 5 years ago it was a state of the art sports facility but in recent times it has become overshadowed by new sporting arena's in the town. Now it is primarily used for school events and football pitches.
It used to be a hub of activity every evening when playing football on astro turf was the done thing. Now this surface is only associated with is horrible sand burns on your thighs and over priced rental fees.
It does boast a full athletics track and small stadium but this is not really used by locals. Also all the pitches are flood lit, so this is handy for the winter months spent perfecting your sporting skills. Other facilities include changing rooms and a clubhouse or function suite.
Once upon a time it even hosted an open training session for the France national football team. But all this is in the past and such high profile stars will now flock down the road to Eddie Irvine Sports.
The sports centre will not go unused as it plays host to Bangor Hockey club and a few local football teams but gone are the days of having to book pitches 3 days in advance. read more
