The Antrim Forum offers a good range of leisure activities ranging from a large swimming pool, ten…read morepin bowling, football, running, squash, a gym, a spa and even a soft play centre at the back for children. It has been part of the Antrim skyline for as long as I can remember and it wouldn't really be he same without it. It is a rather ugly plastic building but the facilities it offers is excellent. For some reason, there are security gates at the entrance. The receptionists do open them if you want to use the public toilets but otherwise you will have to insert the card given to you for your session to open them. It is about a ten minute walk from the Masserene Golf Club, five minutes from Clotworthy and fifteen minutes from the Lough Shore via Deerpark Bridge. The close proximity to Antrim's main leisure and tourist destinations is good. I can't really find anything wrong with it - the only thing is that the bowling alley is quite small so everyone goes to the big one at Dundonald Ice Bowl if they want a serious game of bowling.

There are also swimming lessons for babys through the week that mums or dads or grandparents can take their child too to help them learn to swim get used to the water and mix with other children in the pool. Antrim forum also has lots of other activities to take part in and all reasonably priced and it is much larger than you might expect from a relitivly small town leisure centre. There is also a soft play area which is ideal to take little ones too they love it and burn off lots of energy. Also easy to get to by bus or walking or car.

I've been to two weeks of my aerial class. First yhing, its tough. I have used muscles that I…read moredidn't even know existed. I have bruised, burns and calluses. But on this occasions all worth it. I have hung, swung and stood on a trapeze. I have a new respect for circus performers. They make something that is so tough look simple and elogent. Two skills I have yet to achieve. It you want a new level of fitness, I recommend the circus school. The tutors are brilliant and support everyone. Yes I have slid from the trapeze, but you just present and pretend it was part of the routine. Watch this space, I may still run well on hobble away with the circus.

We went here as part of a party recently and was a really good experience! I have been karting a few times and the track here is really good, with long, high speed corners and hairpins and tunnels to challenge any driver! This place can be enjoyed by all ages, as when we were there were people ranging from under ten to over 50 getting stuck into some karting fun! It is also equipped with a large function room so it may be suitable for corporate outings or team building nights out. £15 for 15mins There are a wide range of options o race including arrive and drive, "Adrenaline Rush" which is around £30 for a qualifier then a race, Grand Prix which has a more professional structure and Team endurance! The staff were friendly and all too willing to help, and were well organised in getting us out on track swiftly, which was appreciated greatly!

Home to the only…read moreOlympic swimming pool in Northern Ireland, a water park, outdoor 4G football and hockey pitches and a fully equipped gym Aurora has become a hive of activity since its opening in 2013. I attend Aurora as a football and an indoor spectator 3 times a week - the football pitches are unbelievable, probably the best surface I have ever played on. They are floodlit and most of the local amateur football teams utilize the surface on weeknights. It's worth noting that they are available to hire by anyone but you may struggle at peak times. The indoor facilities are just as good, there is a café and a viewing gallery overlooking the pool and indoor sports hall. The Café is operated independently but they serve Costa Coffee. As I haven't experienced the gym I can't comment on it but from having a peak through the window it looks top notch. There is a huge car park at Aurora, which has clearly been built with hosting international events in mind. Aurora has proved to be an excellent addition to the Northern Ireland sporting world, something we were severely lacking. Hopefully this facility can help nurture the raw sporting talent we have in our wee country.

It's even a good place to meet up with friends for a coffee or bite to eat. There are so many things to explore it's well worth coming on to check the facilities out.

The walk itself is short, it stretches around 2km perfect for walking a tiny dog. The views are fantastic, you can look over Belfast lough at North Down and on a clear day you can pick out individual buildings. There's plenty of informational signs at Loughshore explaining the different wildlife one might expect to see at the park. One criticism would be the amount of litter on the beach area of the park, obviously there's nothing they can do of people choose to chuck their empty beer cans on the beach but perhaps it could be better enforced!
