The story
The largest stretch of playing fields in Jersey runs out behind this building, eight football pitches deep, edged by cricket nets and a cycle track shared with island cycling clubs. Development here began in 1978 and went on in phases, pavilion by pavilion, changing room by changing room. Today the site holds an eight-lane pool with its own learner pool, bubble bed and spa, a sports hall marked out for badminton, basketball, five-a-side football and netball, two squash courts, tennis courts, and clubhouses for petanque, bowls, croquet and tennis. A skatepark of over two thousand square metres was added here after islanders compared fifteen possible sites and chose this one. In 2018 assessors rated the centre 'excellent', commending the staff as much as the equipment.
