Sutherland Leisure Centre covers all areas when it comes to health, exercise and fun. The centre has two outdoor lap pools, an indoor lap pool and an area for aqua aerobics and a very large children's play pool. When you go on a weekend to swim laps, you may be put off by the amount of children running around, however there is usually a lane in the indoor or outdoor pool with no more than two people in it at its busiest time.
The centre also has a small gym with all your basic machines, a large weights room and several group fitness rooms.
There is a nice cafe (that actually has excellent coffee) where mostly seniors and mums groups meet for coffee after their aqua aerobics. A very nice outdoor grassy patch to chillax in the sun after a workout, and generally lots of space to spread out. The food in the cafe is far from healthy, with chips, lollies, pies and sausage rolls.
Prices are reasonable, you can swim on a casual basis or buy a swim card. They offer lots of different types of memberships, and lacks the SELL SELL SELL perspective of most big gyms which is why I like it. read more
