Breakdown
Parent summary
Eclipse Leisure Centre has excellent facilities including a new gym, good main pool, children's climbing activities, and a Costa café on site. Visitors report a wide range of activities available. Experiences with staff support and facility maintenance have been reported as variable, so it may be helpful to clarify arrangements in advance of your visit.
Best times to visit
Quieter periods tend to be less demanding sensorily. Early morning or off-peak weekday sessions typically have lower noise and shorter queues.
Worth avoiding
School holidays and weekend peak times tend to be busier, which can increase noise and queue lengths.
What visitors say
Visitors report a good range of facilities and activities on offer, with some particularly positive experiences at the main pool and with certain staff members, especially custodian staff. Some visitors have found staff communication challenging when raising concerns, and some facilities have experienced periods of unavailability for maintenance.
