This leisure center is quite dated looking form the outside and could do with a revamp inside. The gym is quite depressing, as if its not hard enough to motivate yourself to go and work out it doesn’t help when you feel like your in a white wash concrete prison.
This gym has a good indoor football court and squash courts. It is also the home of the famous wave maker and has some adequate water slides for the kids. However don’t expect to be able to swim lengths or anything because the pools isn’t designed for that.
All in all it is clean and cheap and the staff are lovely too.

I went here for the first time recently and will definitely go back.
The staff at reception were really friendly and helpful. The pool is big, I would say it is ideal for families with the children’s pool.
The only slight negatives I can think of is that the changing rooms could maybe be improved a bit and some weak swimmers may not like the wave making machine but overall I would recommend this place.

This is a great leisure centre close to the city centre on the infamous Shankill Road. I love the pool — every 20 minutes or so the wave machine is activated. The waves are so much fun — its the nearest thing to being 12 again! The gym is a good size with lots of equipment although it gets very busy at peak times. There are a variety of fitness classes and areas to play racket sports and football. They even have archery on friday and saturday.

This leisure centre could be doing with a lick of paint in some places, but i love coming here as the swimming pool is fantastic. The pool is massive and the wave machine is great fun, and you’ll see as many adults as you will kids enjoying it lol. This place can be hectic at weekends and school holidays so if you have an aversion to annoying screaming kids you might want to go at a quieter time.
My girlfriend goes along to an aqua aerobics class here as well, and she thinks its one of the best classes she’s been to. So might be worth enquiring about that if you’re interested in seeing this pool but getting fit at the same time.

One word: The wave-maker !!
This is the key feature here — a real novelty when it opened in the 1970s and kids still love it today.
More frightening now as an adult than it was as a child.
The surrounding facilities are not great but the water feature is unmissable

An amazing lesiure centre with one of the most unique swimming experiences in northern ireland! With a full length swimming pool complete with a powerful wave machine and several water turrets and other fun and unique features the shankill swimming pool is only rivaled by the swimming complex in lisburn!
