Fulwood Leisure Centre

Disappointing first impression. The facilities generally seem ok, pool was a good temperature and seemed clean. Reception staff were pleasant and helpful.The changing rooms though.... They absolutely reek. There doesnt look to be any drainage so it's just pooled stagnant water you're stood in and it smells of urine.I doubt we'll be returning any time soon.

Despite having an overall good experience here, there were a few things to note that did make my last visit not as pleasant as it could have been. The swimming pool water was quite cold as was the changing room area and the showers next to the poolside. I understand that that's probably a result of the rising energy costs but to have risen the temperature even a couple of degrees would have made a big improvement.The changing area had a very strong smell of urine which was quite off-putting and this odor followed into the ladies toilets aswell.Apart from that, the pool was clean and supervised by attentive staff.

Really good Leisure Center, that's a family focused center, with various options for membership.

We have just been to Fulwood leisure centre with out 2 year old little boy. The baby pool wasn’t open until 12pm so had to go into the large pool, it was absolutely freezing! We literally couldn’t stay in the water for longer than 5 minutes, our little boys lips turned blue and we got out. We complained but were just told that people who are swimming like a cold pool! What a load of rubbish!It was dirty and in major need of a revamp, we will not be going back!

Dirty and dilapidated. I can deal with dilapidated but not with dirty.Pools of stagnant water on changing room floors, rubbish, banana skins, bags and other stuff all over the place. Showers pretty poor.Some changing cubicles are standing only. No chair or bench. Have to put stuff on dirty floor and put socks on standing up.Final straw for me was I went for swim advertised as finishing at 7pm, but at 6.52 I was told by pool attendant it was time to leave. Please don't advertise something that's not true! If you say swimming till seven, that's when I expect to leave the water.I have been a champion of public pools for over 30 years, but if this is the standard for Preston, I may have to pay to go to a private gym with a pool, something I swore I would never do.

Kids loved the aqua play. Staff really friendly. Shame you can't use the dry changing room from swimming as it's safer for little ones. Overall tho a 5 star for the fun factor

I only take the boy swimming but it's good value for money and the pools warm. What more do you want

1. Car park & entrance roads have massive potholes, which causes significant damage to cars. Will soon be making a claim.2. Gym area does not even have clocks on the walls.3. Centre shuts at 10clock but told to leave gym area at 9.50 just so staff can get out at 10 clock. Centre shuts at 10 for members, not for staff.4. Staff start switching off tv's and machines as early as 9.25pm when gym closes at 10pm.

Dirty changing rooms.Unfriendly staffAqua aerobics instructor clearly didn't want to be there....very disinterested.Lockers out or order so had to leave bags poolside resulting in damp clothes from splashing when exiting pool.Pool had sharp tiles on the bottom.Don't recommend.

I took my children swimming yesterday and honestly felt like we would have beeb better swimming in Blackpool sea.The bottom of the pool was slippy because it was that slimy and dirty. Can't be safe if you can't get grip to stand up. The outside of the pool was filthy, cracked tiles all around the pool. Changing area just had pools of water, no staff was trying to keep it clean.No change for the lockers and was told to leave bags at the side of the pool. You should state on the website if you reception doesn't have cash.The water was freezing and salty. You can't smell chlorine in the building or on yourself after swimming.It's just really dirty and I won't be going again.
