Southland Leisure Centre is a strong, multi-functional rec facility that does very well when it comes to variety and family-friendliness. It may not be pristine or cutting edge everywhere, but for what it offers, water play, slides, fitness, climbing, skating, it’s very good value. If you can go at non peak times, it’s a very enjoyable place. For families, especially with young children, it’s ofte...

Very nice pool — everything is clean and well maintained. The slides work perfectly without any issues. The staff and lifeguards are polite and attentive. We really enjoyed it and have already visited several times this week!

Amazing pool fun waves, fun slides and best of all a good dive tank. Lifeguards are super chill and won't call you out unless your risking the safety of someone else, I recommend for groups of people because there is so much to do. If you have a ball bring it, so much room to play and not very many obstacles.
