1 / 3Stretford Sports Village, Chester Centre
📍 Old Trafford, North West
Stretford Sports Village features a 25m pool, family changing rooms praised as the best locally for parents with babies, squash and badminton courts, and ample parking. The cafe is currently closed.
A decent facility that is a great asset for the community. The swimming pool is being well used and is the ideal size. The building is starting to look old and tired but with plans for upgradable the facility due to start in 2025, it will shine once again when the work is done. It's not that it is worn-out, just starting to look like an old building. It is still perfectly serviceable and useable. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The 25m pool is still good for lengths, the gym, although old equipment is still serviceable.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with babies and pram-age children who need genuinely accessible changing facilities. The 25m pool suits all swimming abilities and the family changing layout is the main practical advantage over competing local pools.

“Great place for swimming and Tiny Teds with my little one. LOVE the family changing rooms - we come here for those as it's so much easier than Urmston and Sale pools if you have a baby. It is a bit tired and needs some TLC, but it's not that bad really, and we're really glad to have this nearby.”

“Lovely pool, friendly staff. Pity the café isn't open, I guess they're running on a right budget but these are the places we need most. Go and enjoy it, help it make it through the night!”
