Hough End Leisure Centre
Hough End Leisure Centre has a 25m six lane swimming pool and a learner pool, 90 station gym, two squash courts, a sauna and steam room and a studio. Last year our new two story extension opened which sees an extension to our gym, providing a new programmable space. There's brand new equipment throughout with over 100 stations of Technogym kit. You'll find a new multi-functional room which can be split into two and accommodate community sessions and meetings and provides an additional space for our fitness class programme. We also have a bar and a fantastic outdoor balcony area making it the perfect place for special occasions and events. Our 15 grass pitches and 2 articifical grass pitches are served by new dedicated changing facilities. Were rated 'Excellent' by Quest, the leading UK quality scheme for the sport and leisure industry. Each week we teach over 1000 children to swim on our Swim School Programme. With a brand new Cafe at the centre it's the perfect place to wait while lessons are on! This facility is part of a unique collection of community and elite facilities governed by MCRactive, a not for profit organisation established and overseen by Manchester City Council. It is operated by Better under the MCRactive brand.
