The swimming pool at Willesden has been considerably downsized in the refurbishment and it is now very difficult to find a time when there is enough space for a intermediate-to-advanced swimmer to find space. This is really disappointing as I used to swim regularly and now find it rather difficult. Even when there are meant to be free lanes, activities such as water aerobics often chase children into the swimming lanes leaving no space for anyone else.

I am also disappointed in the £30 p/m cost of the gym seeing as there is a subscription gym down the road. I understand this isn’t bad for a gym but it gives younger people or the unemployed less chance of being able to use a gym as the last one at Willesden was considerably cheaper.

Willesden Sports Centre opened in Nov 2006 and offers a full range of activities for the whole community from foundation to club and competition level. This new multi million pound facility provides fitness and health for all the family, whatever your sport or personal goal th ey will be there to help and guide you along the way.

They provide great opportunities for people of all ages to take part in a variety of activities including Harpers fitness, SwimSchool , there award winning learn to swim programme, sports courses, martial arts and athletics to name but a few

After undergoing refurbishment the gym, and pool and associated rooms got an overhaul. Also the track and field area and seating also looks so much better,giving the kids much better facilities. We still use the swimming pool area, at less busier times…
