Kirkstall Leisure Centre

“As always a wonderful aqua class with Louise this morning (aided by Santa’s little helper) - the staff here are marvellous and with an Active Leeds membership this is a incredible value and a great local asset”

“I recently visited the local swimming leisure centre and had an overall enjoyable experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the visit pleasant from the start. The centre offers a variety of activities suitable for all ages, ensuring that everyone can find something fun to do. The large pool was particularly impressive—spacious and well-maintained, providing ample room for swimming and relaxing. However, I did find the small pool to be a bit disappointing. It was colder than expected and not as clean as it could be, which detracted slightly from the overall experience. Despite this minor setback, the centre's positive aspects far outweighed the negatives. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and friendly place to swim.”

“The pool was decent. But the changing rooms were absolutely disgusting. The changing rooms had biscuit crumbs all over the floor and the showers had mold all over the shower head. There was also hairballs all over the changing are , I’m sure they never clean the rooms. It smelled like urine.”

“I’ve been attending this leisure centre for over a year now, and I’m really disappointed that the same issues still haven’t been fixed — especially this out-of-order hairdryer. It’s been broken for months (if not longer), and even now that it’s winter, nothing has been done about it. It’s frustrating for regular swimmers and students who rely on basic facilities like this after sessions, especially when it’s cold. It gives the impression that the centre is more interested in making as much money as possible while spending the least they can on maintenance and customer care. After a year of the same problem, it’s clear that customer comfort and health aren’t being prioritised. Really disappointing from a place run by the council that should be looking after the community.”
