Castle Leisure Centre Bury

"The booking system is a nightmare! So much trouble to book a swim. But can't risk showing up and not being able to swim with a young family. Needs looking into. Current dance competitions taking up all the parking and no notice from the centre prior to the event to ensure those using the centre for its facilities park elsewhere or arrive earlier. Poor communication from the centre overall."

"I normally love coming here but today the family changing rooms stunk of urine but a r a really nasty smell, like it had been more than a days passed and it’s not been cleaned kind of smell.. and a male staff member kept just walking past and staring as people were mentioning it so he definitely heard and ignored the situation. Then in the actual kids pool it was so cold we all had goosebumps even moving around in the pool it was still cold would probably not come again now."

"My son attended weekly lessons here for years and now my daughter does the same. Teachers and staff are great and very reasonably priced. Pool is never freezing. Definitely the only place I go to swim!"

"Really nice place especially for spectators good seating position."

"Update 21/08/2022 - Staff have now put signs up in the disabled toilet and shower asking people to not tie up the emergency cords & these were not tied up on my most recent visit. Thank you! Original review below: My review is of the pool and service received only - This is a good leisure centre with friendly staff. Discounts are available for people meeting certain criteria at an upfront cost of £6.50 The main pool is quite large. Not exactly warm but at the same time not too cold. One thing I would suggest is putting some signage up to make people aware of hidden disabilities (in fact, work with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme) - I had one customer tell me I shouldn't have used the disabled changing room which I assume is because to them I "don't appear disabled" as I don't use any mobility aids such as a wheelchair, even though I am autistic and find publicly shared changing rooms overwhelming. Also, please put some signage up in the disabled shower and toilets to not tie up the red emergency cord. I had to untie these twice. They exist for a reason, in case someone slips and falls they can get help by pulling it I will be visiting again. Thank you for a good swim session"
