Basingstoke Sports Centre

Basingstoke Sports Centre is home to an expansive soft play facility that provides endless entertainment for children of all ages. This modern leisure complex offers much more than just soft play, featuring comprehensive facilities including badminton courts, a fully-equipped fitness centre and gym, spa facilities, squash courts, and a swimming pool with dedicated swimming lessons.

The centre boasts excellent accessibility features, with both wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance ways ensuring the venue is welcoming to all visitors. On-site services are available to enhance the visitor experience and provide additional convenience for families.

The recently renovated soft play area has significantly expanded, featuring multiple zones including a dedicated space for toddlers under two years old. The equipment is designed to accommodate parents who need to assist younger children, with adequately sized crawl spaces. While the facility can get quite busy during peak times, particularly weekends, there’s a café serving refreshments and plenty of seating areas for families. Some visitors have noted concerns about capacity management during busy periods, and occasional maintenance issues have affected accessibility. The changing facilities, particularly in the swimming area, have received mixed feedback regarding cleanliness and maintenance.
