“Most friendly and helpful staff . Pauline runs the place well . Goes above and beyond . Priced well for hall hire or classes”

“First time visit, Paid £11 for 2 adults and a 16m toddler, very friendly staff, spotless facilities. Communal changing area for the pool, lockers are £1 and are good sized. They have single cubicles or family ones with toddler seats/changing tables (perfect if your alone with a child). The showers were hot and the water was lovely and warm. We took our 16m and she absolutely loved it. To make it even better it has a really warm changing area so your still kept nice and toasty when you come out the pool. They have the main pool and a smaller ‘training’ pool. We stayed in the training pool. The life guards on duty seemed happy and very attentive. The life guard watching the smaller pool brought out so toys for the water, which was lovely of him. We didn’t go but also notice they have a cafe and soft play, which is great for kids. Would definitely recommend this place.”

“I must say about Ms. Am**da. She is the best example of customer or front desk service. I got all information as I need. Though most of the information are available in website. You can ask any question inside staff for anything. They are helpful. We are enjoying while we are there. Recommended...”

“Just visited the newly refurbished centre. What a fantastic community facility.”

“Have been coming here since I was a kid as the great standards that the pool had when I first came have always been maintained and generally the facilities are excellent. I always thoroughly enjoy my swims here. Highly recommended!”

“We enjoyed a spa day followed by dinner. The spa is really lovely, staff are friendly and attentive and the facilities are excellent. Especially loved the heated beds. Food was delicious.”

“Free country park ,trout fishing available or just a nice place to chill or walk the dog”

“I have been using Lasswade centre regularly for a few years now and I really enjoy it. The reception staff are lovely. Michelle’s aqua classes, step classes and weights classes are amazing. After years of failing at several exercises I’ve come to realise it’s not the class, it’s the instructor that makes all the difference and Michelle is amazing. She is encouraging, real and motivating, knowing the perfect balance when to give a gentle push to do better and giving praise when you get it right. Her sense of humour and her energy never fails to make us all smile. She provides a relaxed, fun and safe environment to work out in and makes us all feel included and part of her team. There is always good banter that even some lifeguards and members of the public can’t help but join in as they pass. Her classes are fun and extremely rewarding. As a bonus the gym is getting an upgrade this winter which is great!”

“Great leisure centre! I mainly use the gym which is very well equipped for most gym users needs (squat racks, Olympic bars/plates, adjustable benches, dumbbells up to 50 kg, treadmills, machines etc.). The staff are always very friendly, and helpful whenever you have a question.”

“Carnegie Leisure Centre is an absolute gem for the Dunfermline community. Whether you're into swimming, fitness, or family activities, this place has something for everyone. The swimming pool facilities are top-notch — especially the main pool and the brilliant leisure pool with a flume and wave machine. It’s perfect for both serious swimmers and kids who just want to have fun. The poolside is clean, well-maintained, and well-supervised by friendly staff. The gym area is modern and well-equipped, with a good range of cardio machines, resistance equipment, and free weights. It's spacious and rarely feels overcrowded, even during peak hours. The fitness classes are varied and professionally run — from yoga and spin to body pump and aqua aerobics. Changing facilities are clean and secure, and the café area is a nice bonus — great for a post-workout coffee or snack. What really stands out is the staff: always helpful, welcoming, and professional. They create a very inclusive and relaxed environment for everyone, from beginners to regulars. If you’re in Dunfermline or nearby, Carnegie Leisure Centre is definitely worth a visit. Great value, excellent facilities, and a real community feel.”

“Handy motorhome aire, bays only sized for small commercial vans, Get in early if you want a good spot. £5 honesty box at far end, I doubt many donate.”

“Fantastic yoga classes, good parking available.”

“Very friendly staff and centre was very clean. £4.30 for a lovely shower. Would recommend for car campers.”

“Only used the Swimming Pool which is 25m long and has a very deep deep end (3metres?) So deep it is used by the local sub aqua club for training. Pool was busy but not so busy that I couldn't swim lengths. Changing facilities were as expected and staff friendly and helpful. Has a large car park with ample spaces. Other facilities include a bar and outdoor astroturf 5 a side pitches. The centre is large so will have other facilities I am not aware of as I am not local to Bo'Ness. Rumours that the council want to close the centre to save money. Hope it can be kept open as it seems a well used public facility with plenty to do.”

“Cait was incredible today, helping with questions, talking about the facility and in general, a lovely person. sinhead however was confusing with the layout and how the facilities work. would maybe visit again though”

“Fantastic pool very clean and the water is nice and warm, the staff were super friendly as we accidentally booked wrong location and a lovely lady called innes sorted it out for us so there was no disappointment kids!”

“Pool is great, my 2 yearls old loves it. It has couples slides for different ages and a wave coming every 30min. Good priced and there are family changing rooms”

“Great gym. Ban the use of mobile phones in gym. People do one set then go on their phone for 5 mins before thry do another. They are wasting their time training and are ignorant to others waiting for machines”

“Great centre, staff are friendly and helpful. Need more aqua fit classes”

“My little boy who’s one year old absolutely loves going to his swimming lessons at swim n learn, he has came on so well. The class has also given me confidence as a parent in the water with my child. Bryan and the team are so professional but also warm, friendly and supportive. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to swimming for my little one.”

“A nice park for playing with the kids or walking your dog. There's a nice path around the grass for roller skating or cycling.”

“Very nice people and equipment always well maintained.”

“My boy's have been taking swimming lessons here for 2+ years and what a difference it has made. The facilities are top notch and the staff is very attentive to the kids needs and the resultdms speak for themselves.”

“Staff are always really friendly Come here for badminton most weeks”
