Improvements works and closures

We are redecorating the pool and installing new boilers at SWFLC, meaning the pool is closed and showers are currently unavailable. They will be open again on Saturday 21 December 2024. You can read more about the SWFLC improvement works and what it means for you. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Four men reaching up towards basketball hoop

Basketball is a fun, fast-paced sport, and can be a great workout. You can hire a single hoop to practice shooting, a half hall, or whole hall for a game with your friends.  

We also have basketball courts in some of our parks.

Riverside Leisure Centre has basketball courts, which will be available to book on a pay as you go basis.
