    Billesley Tennis club provides an all weather Tennis facility for all budding Tennis players. It…read moreoffers indoor and outdoor courts, with the indoor courts being the most popular and the outdoors serving as an overflow. Often as Billesley becomes busy the courts are rotated but playing outdoors, when the weather is agreeable surrounded by fellow tennis players it's no real hardship. Inside you'll find changing rooms and snack dispensers, enough to keep you going. On this occasion the wind was up, but not enough to impact on our game. Staff were friendly and professional and Tennis equipment was available for hire. Tennis was seen as a sport for the rich but with the increase in availability of Tennis facilities it is only a matter of time before we start to see professional tennis players from a wide range of backgrounds.

    I didn't even know this place existed until I went to play football on the astroturf that sits…read morealongside it. I went into the tennis centre to get changed, only to be told that the astroturf belongs to Moseley Rugby Club, which is next door. I then had to clamber over a few fences and almost done myself an injury, but that's another story. The tennis centre itself is very impressive and I've been back on a few occasions as my friend's son competes here. There are four outdoor courts that are in excellent condition, but it was the inside that really impressed me. The changing rooms and public areas are clean and spacious, and the indoor tennis facilities are superb. They also offer a good range of clubs and instruction, from young kids to adults. Next time the Wimbledon insanity takes temporary hold, you know where to go.

    Ever since I first dabbled into the world of Crazy Golf at Alton Towers, I have been hooked. There…read moreis just something about a group of adults with miniature putters and different coloured plastic balls walking around on fake grass that both amuses and entertains me greatly. When putting together a Weekly Yelp on fun things to do in the city, I spotted Mohamade A's review of this place and bookmarked it for something new to do on a Sunday. After a mad Friday night and busy Saturday, I just wanted to get out of house and do something fun (but not too intensive). Mini golf seemed to be the perfect low energy, silly activity for me and Dan to enjoy. First thing to note, Star City can be accessed by bus but offers plentiful free parking if you plan on driving. I haven't been here in a few years and was surprised to see quite a few newer businesses here (including at least a couple of independents). Adventure Island is at the front of the building and easy to spot with it's clear signage. As we had to get to the supermarket before it closed (ROCK'N'ROLL), we opted to do 18 holes instead of the full course. There are two different courses to choose from and you can do one for £6.45, the full 36 for £10.95 or there are combo deals for bowling and lazer tag as well. We decided on the "Lost Hut Trail" and off we went! Thus proceeded 45 minutes of frustration, fun and giggles around the course. In retrospect, we wish we had done both or opted for the "Hidden Cove" course (which boasts a volcano in the middle), but we will be back to try this at some point. It's of note that the venue has a bar (for golf/beer times) and does a 2-4-1 offer on a Wednesday. It would make a fun place for a date or a birthday party. Yeah, it's not high brow entertainment... but if you want to challenge someone to a duel - there are worse ways than with a miniture putter and a brightly coloured plastic ball. Recommended.

    Since we always go bowling when in star city, we decided to try something else. We had amazing time…read morehere withgroup of friends. We thought it was going to be empty since it didn't look like anyone was going in or out by the entrance. We were suprised it was full of people. From couples to families. So many different crazy courses to keep you entertained and competitive till the end.

    This is a picture perfect park. On the early Autumn afternoon when we go, Summer is having another…read morecrack at it. Parents are sat out side the thatched roofed cafe with pots of teas, while children gleefully hop over the stream absently-mindedly letting ice cream cones drip their contents over their bare arms. We just about make the curfew for the Golden Putter crazy golf, which is the purpose of this post-shopping visit. There are a full state-of-the-art 18 holes to play, each one getting progressively harder. My memory of crazy golf is of playing on cracked concrete surfaces, but here your ball will glide over all-weather baize, that gives a realistic green putting experience. There are obstacles, slopes, a version of bunkers to tackle and walls to bounce your ball off, and the experience is kind of like a cross between putting and pool. It's very, very, fun, and at around £3.50 a person you'll get a full hour of casual competitiveness for the price of a pint. If you want a more rough and ready retro crazy golf experience there is an older more ramshackle course as you enter the park, (clubs hired from the cafe.) Ace.

Facilities include a sport centre/swimming pool, astroturf pitch and tennis courts. Bike ramps and an off road bike track, play rea with modern swings and things, paddling pool, paid for rides, boat hire on the River avon, mini golf and bowls (probably more but that's not bad going). Cafe and toilets as well.

    If there's one activity that my friends and family are mutually fanatic about, then its bowling! We…read moreoften head down to Bowlplex, which is in the Broadway Plaza complex. Underground paid parking is available, although you could be cheeky and look for side-street parking. Bowlplex isn't limited to just bowling. There's a restaurant area, bar, arcade and American Pool upstairs. So, in general there's something to keep all ages engaged. Parties can be booked here too, so don't be surprised to find a whole load of balloons and excited kids if you go at the weekend! They usually have offers available during the holidays, although it gets very busy at this time. Generally, the more games you play, the cheaper it is. There is also a "Munch and Play" deal where you can eat from the grill and bowl (although not simultaneously!) for £13.50 for adults. It's a fun-day out for the family, especially when it's too cold to be outdoors!

    Who loves Bowling?? Then if you do, Bowlplex is somewhere you should go. It's situated in the same…read moreBroadway complex where AMC cinema, Frankie & Benny's, Subways and more are located. Bowlplex (Broadway Complex) is situated just before you get to Hagley Road and just after the big six ways roundabout near Broad Street. Bowlplex is a great place to take kids if you have any because of the fun factor. It's a brilliant way to entertain the family but also as a parent enjoy and relax in the bar area which they have- you can even treat yourself to a cold beer or maybe just stick to a J20 which your kids play. They also serve food in the restaurant/bar area but if I remember rightly there is an age restriction in the bar area, so you'll need to be aware of this. I don't have kids so it's something I didn't enquire about when I last went. Not to worry about that though, as there's plenty of activities kids can do; not just bowling. There are arcade type games which the small and the big kids will all enjoy.

    The leisure centre has been around longer than I have. As it'sour local swimming baths it's been a…read moreregular place for us all our lives. We learnt to swim there (with the late Mrs Padbury andwent to the roller disco there when we were teenagers. Recently we've started to take the kids back to the roller disco and it really takes me back and is as good as it always was. The pools are great - they have a baby pool, a massive pool (for lane swimming and inflateable fun swim on Saturdays) and a smaller pool that has a bottom in it that they can raise up and lower when needed. The last time went was for a kids swimming party. Also at the leisure centre are squash and badminton courts and a large gym. The large hall where they do the roller disco is also used for the badminton, indoor football, kids party go-karting, indoor car boot slaes and craft fairs etc etc. There s another hall where they weekly kids clubs, trampolining, and it goes on and on. They do it all here that I can't list it all. Apparently the plan is to rebuild a new leisure centre and get rid of this one which will be such a shame.

I have to improvise to get my gym bag in it! 2. Showers. Communal. This was a big - for me. Im not comfy standing naked in front of everyone, and the preset temperature was too cold to me; and it cant be adjusted. The sensor is automatic which means it will shut off every 2 minutes. This is a huge pain. 3. Machines dont seem to allow to adjust calories burned for male/female differences so you get an average. This is about a random a number as you can get and bears no resemblance to reality! Ok if you just need a gym but quite dated and some silliness re the jail time showers (cold and communal!) - they should change this im sure its not just me....
