As part of Liverpool Council's Lifestyles range of sports centres and gyms, you can see the money…read moreand effort that has been put into this place to bring it into the 21st Century and make it an integral part of the community. The centre has been here for nearly 30 years and was greatly underused except for the many football parties I went to as a kid! Now the gyms are kitted out with state of the art gear, there are regular fitness classes for all levels in the sports hall, two decent sized astro-turfs can be found at the front - and if they are not being used by the local kids they seem to attract a lot of 5-a-side - and a good size pool with sauna and steam room. I can't really knock the place because it is well cheap and is obviously doing a very good job at placing itself at the heart of the Garston community, however, this also measn that the place can be very busy at peak times and it is often very hard to judge when it will not be full of kids! The pool always seems to have school groups or out of hours swimming clubs. While this commendable they also seem to find their way into the gym and will often hang around - or off - much of the equipment! But there is a waterslide!

David Lloyd's is the best gym money can buy. The facilities are second to none across all David…read moreLloyd's across the country and this one is no different. I could rattle through the facilities but I won't. What I will say is that they include 12 tennis courts, 6 inside and 6 outside as well as two large swimming pools, one inside one outside. Every time I set foot inside this gym I feel like a kid in a candy store. There is so much to do and it's so spacious it is a perfect environment to workout. However it is very pricey, and from experience it is notoriously difficult to cancel your membership. The amount of money you pay on a monthly basis you'd have to practically live there to get your money back. Verdict I'd say this is a quality gym, but overpriced!!!

OK, first things first, David Lloyd is a very, very expensive gym. Over £100 per month for our…read morefamily!!! BUT, the gym section is as good as I have ever seen. The tennis courts look great (but I haven't tried them yet). The changing rooms are spotlessly clean. The pool is large and rarely busy and there is an outside pool. The real advantage is that there are plenty of activities for our three-year old son and a friendly creche available several days per week.

That was a couple of years ago and since then, it has been under repair several times meaning that my weekly routine had to be altered. In fact, it is currently undergoing the next stage of repair which means the pool is closed until further notice. This is disappointing for regular swimmers and the fact that their steam sauna is no longer available for some reason, adds to the disappointment. Other than that, they have all the usual facilities a good sports centre would offer including a gym (including classes), squash court and sports hall, suitable for badminton and other team sports with spectator seating. There are also a number of outdoor synthetic sports pitches. Plus, vehicle parking is free. Overall, the sports centre is neither excellent nor poor. Some features I feel could do with a refurbishment such as the pool changing rooms and floor and lighting for the sports hall.

Not at all impressed by our visit to Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park today. We took our 5 month…read moreold baby but will not be returning. When we paid we were asked if we had brought a padlock - puzzled, I replied no, why? Apparently now you need to bring a padlock if you want to be able to use a locker in the changing rooms. If not, you have to come out of the changing rooms in your sopping wet swimming stuff, juggling baby, to retrieve your things from the lockers in the main foyer. In addition, the keys for the lockers in the foyer do not have any wristbands on, so what you're meant to do with them is beyond us; we were told we could hand them to the lifeguard but seeing as we couldn't find the same lifeguard twice we thought that adding searching for them to get our key when we left wasn't really something we wanted to be doing, so we opted to tie the key onto my partners swim shorts. I asked if there was a safe place we could leave the pram and was told we could leave it in the cleaning cupboard. Grateful that the young lady was trying to be helpful but surely a new facility such as this should have something better than a cleaning cupboard for people to leave prams? In the end we couldn't find the young lady again to ask her to put the pram in the cupboard so we had to leave it in our view in the changing rooms at the side of the pool. Normally we wouldn't be bothered about it being in our view but seeing as they already seem to have had some sort of security issue with the lockers (the only reason we can think of for them asking people to bring their own padlocks), we didn't want to leave it to chance. Prams are expensive. Scallies are the reason we can't have nice things folks! In the changing rooms it took us a little while to figure out where the baby change facilities were. They are inside some changing cubicles but not very obvious (especially if all are being currently used and you can't see inside). It's quite a squeeze inside, especially with pram and two adults. The changing table itself was disgusting, it looked like it hadn't had a good clean since the place opened. The pool itself was good, much improved on the disgusting old Huyton Leisure, but we didn't get much time in there - we got in at 12:10 and at 12:30 we were told it was closing and we had to get out! Nobody at the front desk had informed us of this when we arrived, so all the effort we had gone to to get out with the baby, get all three of us changed and into the pool felt like a massive waste of time. Really not impressed. We were given a refund, but only once we could find the receipt; so make sure you keep your receipt people, you may not be impressed, and at £4 a swim that's not what you would expect!
