Public pools in Northampton

“Great way to improve our open space and create natural shade and habitats for wildlife”

“A decent training facility for my daughter's swimming club with poolside spectating.”

“It's a very small park with few benches. Its well maintained and clean. Not many things to do. There is a small place for kids...”

“7 swans there but baby swans gone??poss eaten bye forien scum bags now just 2 adults and one baby swan left”

“It's a lovely park, simple and will keep the kids busy on a sunny day”

“Best gym in town. It has everything you need and staff are always on hand if you don’t know how some of the ‘machinery’ work. Reception ladies always smiling and happy to help and if you manage to trip over your 2 feet, lifeguards are there to give you an ice pack. Highly recommend!”

“I was visiting from the U.S. and missing my swim time. I was very grateful for the day pass to enjoy the pool. I desperately needed to fill the hours between the site sighting excursions planned by my host family. The staff was kind and accommodating and locker/shower facilities were satisfactory. The hot tub wasn’t working one day and not hot the other, but the steam room was just what I needed to unwind. Although I was far from home, I felt perfectly comfortable.”

“I have been using the facilities at Woughton Leisure Centre more than 30 years starting with my sons learning to swim who are now adults with their children having done swimming lessons there this past summer. I learnt to swim there when I retired in 2021 and now hold a swim membership. As well as swimming I have played badminton weekly again over 35 years. Apart from the facilities the staff have without fail offered a highly professional and friendly service in particular Hannah, Mark, Dean and Niki. Twice I had brain fog and confused about which locker I thought was mine , Mark and Hannah came to my rescue and were very understanding when they assisted me on finding my correct. Woughton Leisure plays a very important role in keeping me healthy.”

“I have read a lot of negative comments about this place. Trust me, it’s not that bad. Gym is great, swimming area is good and personal coaching is amazing. The changing rooms were not that bad like other gyms. They are going to have a new renovation plan for this area in September so fingers crossed for the new setup.”

“Enjoy taking aqua aerobics her every Wednesday and Friday friendly staff clean facilities”

“My first visit there , so I've only seen the gym. My wellness app barcode , didn't work , but this appears to be an issue between the 2 companies. However the lady on reception was really patient and helpful and got me set up. The gym was very well equipped , not too busy and lots of natural light Pretty impressed”

“I'm possibly biased as I was the Leader of the Council at the time the leisure centre was built. At the time there was a lot of debate whether it should be built or the facilities at the FE college expanded. 30 years on, as a unfit member of the public I think it was definitely the right decision. The facilities are excellent and good value. But what especially makes the centre a wonderful facility are the staff. From reception to pilates to the cleaners to everybody else, the staff are encouraging and lovely.”

“The gym is amazing I book online my swimming sessions easy And efficient to do. A great environment family friendly gym with top equipment and amazing facility and selection of classes each day Good service with friendly staff Super clean and comfortable gym for everyone from beginners to professional athletes To train at”

“I popped in here whilst my car was still in the garage for late repair. I visited this centre on Monday 27/10/25 at around 4pm. The facility is good, and has free weight gym, swimming pool, sauna and steam. Very spacious leisure centre. What stood out the most were the kind receptionists. They helped me out with a day pass, gave me a tour of the facility and showed me where everything was. Thank you for making my visit accommodating.”

“Hello and what can I say I am more than happy joining the gym and what a lovely person Skye getting members in knowledgeable, enthusistic, helpful, as is all the team everyone really helpful and busy and active to boot no car parking fees for now, Once again when joining who ever Skye reports to you should keep her helpful and keen to please credit to your gym, Also reception team I found very respectful of course everyone has an off day but today was a top day!!! all round I will update on the facilities but they seem good enough!!! big thanks to Skye”

“Not sure what the same person who wrote the 1 star review is on about lol. I take my children 3 times a week for swimming lessons and rookie life guard training. Teachers and staff are always friendly and happy to help we have been going for 5 years and had no issues. The showers could do with an update but never seen mould!. Can’t be that bad if the lessons are always full and have a massive swimming club.”
