A fantastic sports facility in a spectacular building |
Bawtry Road Doncaster Leisure Park Sheffield, South Yorkshire DN4 7PD United Kingdom +44 1302 37 0777 http://www.the-dome.co.uk/ |
This facility, a twenty minute drive from Sheffield city centre, is one of Yorkshire's finest buildings and was Europe's largest dome before the building of the Millennium Dome. The facilities on offer easily match up to the magnificence of the building. It contains a fitness village, which gives access to over 170 pieces of gym equipment and the option of nutritional advice if required. Visitors are easily accommodated here. There is also a skating rink which offers public and private sessions. The greatest feature here is the "Cheap Skate" deal, which charges just 90p for adults and 70p for children for an hour's session on the ice. Dry sports are also available, as is a cafeteria, bar and the added bonus of ample free parking. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Open air swimming pool in countryside |
Oddfellows Road Hathersage Sheffield, Derbyshire S32 1DU United Kingdom +44 1433 65 0843 |
Swim outdoors throughout the summer in this popular pool in Hathersage, just a 20 minute bus or taxi ride from Sheffield city center. Local hills are visible from the pool and deckchairs and grassy areas are available for the use of sunbathers. The pool itself is large enough for serious swimming and the water is heated to a pleasant temperature. Simple but well-kept log-cabin changing rooms, showers and lavatories are available and spectators who want to avoid the sun can make use of a covered grandstand. A pool cafeteria offers a good range of snacks and drinks - and although the main eating area is not accessible from the pool side, refreshments can be purchased through a small hatch. On quiet days, this is a great place to relax but at weekends and during school holidays it tends to be busy with families and is much noisier. Arrive at the beginning of a session to avoid having to queue for admission. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great value sports centre crammed with activities |
Westfield Crescent Mosborough Sheffield, South Yorkshire S20 5AQ United Kingdom +44 114 251 0376 |
This complex fits in everything you expect of a sports centre at very good prices. All facilities can be used by members or non-members, and although booking for court activities is advised, it isn't a necessity. There are Badminton and Squash courts, a sports hall for Basketball, Volleyball and Football, a fitness gym and a swimming pool. Also available are swimming lessons that can be joined at any time and aerobic classes that are run on a turn up and take part basis. The only activity that requires prior planning is use of the gym, as an induction course is required before you can use it. However, this can be arranged quickly and visitors can negotiate temporary membership fees by arrangement. Review © 2007, Wcities |
