    Great place. All you would expect for a leisure centre. Prices are reasonable.

    This is a great facility. I used to live not too far from here so this was our local Leisure…read moreCentre. My children had swimming lessons here, and the swimming pool is really good. They also have a gym, a snooker table, badminton courts etc. It's a really good facility. There is even a local library and a cafe. Often they have special children's parties at Christmas but you have to book your place early.

    The Rainbow leusreu centre is attached to the rainbow leisure centre, accessible via the Tesco…read morecarpark or the main Rainbow carpark. Parking is completely free around the centre, though beware of rolling trolleys in high winds! There's also a good bus service and for anyone walking in, I wouldn't recommnd the walk alone but all footpaths are safe and a way from the road. The Rainbow leisure centre has a main hall, squash courts, a pool room and bar, a library, a cafe, a gym, pool and a smaller hall usually used for aerobics classes or bouncy castle parties. It's open 7 days a week and offers pretty much any sport you can ask for. You can hire it out for quite a few things, I've been to Bouncy castle parties here and I have been to an 18th here once. The library isn't always open though so look up the times before you go. The cafe is situated above the hall so any parents can look down and watch their children in various sports. Prices are moderate, but you can only start to book cours 24 hours before unless you're a member at the leisure centre. By joining you get to go to a number of places around Middlesbrough. The staff are all really polite and I only have one small annoyance about this place that because of the balcony you're often subject to people leaning over and wolfwhistling as you play badminton or sqaush.

    This leisure centre is really overpriced. The facilities arent up to much and for the price its…read morejust ridiculous. An hour on the football court is £36 - I dont know how they can warrant a charge like that or the hire of some floorboards and literally no service. Plus there is no air conditioning and the place is like an oven. I was gonna start swimming regurlarly but found out its over £3 a swim, now I cant understand why that price is so high either? to swim every day works out at around £60 a month which you could get membership to a really good gym for that! All in all I do use the place just because I need to but if there was an alternative nearby I would go for it!

    It is the most vile and horrific place I have ever been. The staff are nothing short of rude and…read moreobnoxious, especially the reception staff! All of which have a bad attitude! I have been taking my girls swimming for about a year now because of convenience and it never gets any better. The place is filthy. The changing rooms are disgusting, they are never regularly checked and I have not seen them cleaned once. On my latest visit (25.8.17) I had a member of reception be totally rude, a fitness team member scream like a banshee at me across the room because I walked through the barrier instead of the turnstile (a disgusting way to speak to anyone let alone a customer) there was wet swim nappies on the floor when I first went in the changing rooms. I took my girl to the toilet (also filthy) wet toilet roll on the floor in each cubicle and the entire floor soaked. When going back into the changing room to get dry I pulled the baby change down to dry my 1year old and 3 wet urine soaked nappies on the tray. Bins are totally sticky with hairs stuck on and full to the top. I was there at 9.30am. Clearly hadn't been emptied from the day before. I would urge anyone not to use this leisure centre and go elsewhere if possible.

    The swimming pool at Hetton has been closed for ages with vague promises of building a new one. the…read morecouncil has finally bothered to start the rebuilding which i am very pleased about but it has taken long enough. this sports complex was always full of families taking their kids to swimming lessons etc so hopefully the new centre will be built soon!

    The new Hetton Coalfield swimming pools construction works is progressing very well…read more For a look at how things have developed from the start to the present time check this link out for pictures. http://hetton-online.com December pictures now showing. Looks like being completed late November but will probably not open till January. Completed now and is opening January 10th or 17th 2010. Pellikaan Construction Ltd UK have done a very professional job of the building and should be commended. New webpage address for this information is http://www.hetton-online.com Official opening day on thursday 14th January and it looks worth the wait. hopefully I will get some more good pictures.:) The pools and fitnesse centre are now open to the public so lets hope its put to good use by local people. Unfortunately due to a change of government, concessions to under 16's and over 60's will cease at the end of July so a lot of families and over 60's will be disappointed as the cost to some will be out of their reach. The proposed new glass along the side of the building (being designer and wont be cheap and there are MUCH cheaper materials available) is on show in the building, but maybe if this cost was used instead for concessions for people who qualify maybe it would be a better idea in this time of allround cutbacks! Bearing in mind an already public viewing area inside is available where the public can pay to watch what is happening in the building.

    Kaskada Bowling Alley was commonly referred to as 'the bowling alley' and used to be the ultimate…read morehot-spot for college students such as myself. I only actually bowled there a handful of times, but I frequented the place several times a week for many a year. My friends and I would meet there, although looking back, there was little to do. There was twenty lanes for bowling - these are the same as they are everywhere, around £5 a game per player, and up to 4 players playing on one lane. You bowl ten rounds after inputting your name into the computer, and the computer takes great delight in laughing at you when you fail to knock down any pins, or when you manage to aim the bowling ball directly into the centre of the pins, but only knocking down a single one from the back row. It also cheers on the odd occasion you get a strike or a half-strike. The bowling alley is rarely very busy, with maybe 4 lanes being used at any one time, unless it's around the Christmas period where work parties take over the entire row of lanes. In front of the actual bowling lanes there's a games area with shuttle hockey and pool tables, fruit machines and a few ride-on motorbike racing machines. I have frequent memories of the 'Day-ton-ah' tune from a few of the machines from hanging around there so much. Also towards the front of the lanes, against the back wall, there's a small burger bar, and a shop for the purchase of bowling balls, shoes and other little souvenirs. At one end of the bowling alley there's a bar with some comfy leather chairs and the kind of dark-wood decoration popular in many bars today. There's also a terrace in this area. I often wonder what made this place so popular with the teenagers - we weren't allowed in the bar or near the bowling lanes (unless bowling) so were left to hang around the games area, playing pool when we could afford it. I guess it was because it was warm inside - there was nowhere else in Durham city like it.
