As you walk in, you see an open space with tables-there is a cafe in this part of the centre. To your left is the pool, and gym, and to your right, the studio (For things like martial arts training) and the sports hall. All activities seem to be average value for money, but you can buy passes and get deals to make it cheaper if you go regularly. There is ample free parking on site.

There seems to be quite a few negative reviews for the Sportspark, which surprises me somewhat as…read moreit's probably the best sports centre I've used. I was a regular user of the gym, on a £30 per month Gold Membership, which entitled me to use whenever I wanted it. I mainly use the running machines, of which there are 10-12, as well as cross trainers (same again) and rowing machines. I found I could get in after work and get on a machine mostly as soon as I arrived, which isn't too shoddy considering it's a well used gym. I also liked to use the weights machines, which if you chose tactically could provide a good workout. Sure, it gets busy, but compared to some London gyms I've been to where I've paid £40+ per month, it's positively breezy. As well as the gym, the Sportspark has a fantastic climbing wall, two 25m (or sometimes 1 50m) swimming pools, indoor games areas for badminton etc, a martial arts and dance studio, an amazing gymnastics facility, an outdoor athletics area and outdoor games area, squash courts and a neat little cafe/bar. Prices are good if you're a member and they often run introduction courses to activities which are particularly good value. There's also the popular free circuit training on a Monday and Tuesday lunchtime which is a fantastic little workout! I've used quite the place quite a bit, having used the gym and pool regularly, as well as going on squash and climbing courses (as well as subsequently using these facilities independently), done Taekwondo with the Saracens club, played badminton with friends, done athletics with the Circuit training people and I'm currently doing a gymnastics course at their new gymnasium (!). I've found the staff are courteous and eager to help, the wet and dry locker rooms have been clean every time I've used them and in general I've grown to love the place. I'm sorry that some people have had bad experiences, but in terms of value for money and facilities available, the Sportspark is amazing and I love that it's just a short cycle from my home.

There are also three adult teams (First, second, and third), so there is always plenty going on at the club. The coaches and managers for the youth are very good, and all are CRB checked.

The club house has a big open fire, a kitchen so the players can have a post match meal, and a well equipped bar. There are plenty of places to sit around in the club house, and there is even a TV!

Skates are available to hire, or you can bring your own. Food is available to buy if you want to have something to eat, and this makes it an ideal venue for a child's birthday party. As well as roller skating there is a small soft play area which is ideal for younger children who do not want to skate. If you have a spree book, there are vouchers in for reductions on the entrance price so this makes it even more of an affordable activity. The staff are really helpful and organise some great stuff there.

Some of the outdoor activities are only open Easter to October such as the small farm, pony rides and tractor trailer rides and maze. Other than that it is open most of the year but not on Mondays, or Saturdays when it has private parties. Indoors there is a small soft play area, with a separate area nearby for babies, the 'duck' pond (ball pit) area, a sandpit in the barn, and a book corner. There are also outdoor play areas when the weather's fine. The only problem I find when we go is that it can be hard to keep an eye on both children at once if they want to do different things because it's not altogether under one roof. Fantastic for little ones though - worth a visit!
