    Never been before - went to my niece's birthday party. Good room to have food in, staff were friendly and helpful. Kids loved the pool, plenty of floats and toys etc to paly with. Overall really good.

    Went swimming with children and family. Its ok but so overpriced for basic swimming, shame that they didn't keep features of the old building, such as the slide and diving boards. Its been designed for hiring out privately. Not for general public and children to enjoy. It's as basic as it gets. The old place had a warm baby pool this hasn't. The main pool isn't very big at all. Shame when its a massive building that they couldn't make the swimming pools epic. Rather than trying to fit them in.

    Started swimming first time in over 20 years, it was colder then I can remember staff were watchful after arriving with two walking sticks after 30 minutes I was looked after my wonderful staff a lot of help? (I am 72 n disabled), when you visit you will greeted helpful people no matter how old you are?, Great swimming pool. (no photos it's wrong to do so?)

    My first visit here since the old sports centre closed. Wow what a difference. We used the pool and found it clean with excellent facilities.

    Great pool, quite cool, but a nice quiet atmosphere (as pools go!). Nice that it's a bit wider than usual as even with lanes it's still a nice size. Changing facilities are good, just a shame there are so few shower cubicles and family changing rooms.

    Fantastic facilities on the doorstep of Queens Park itself and close to the centre of Chesterfield. Swimming, squash, weights or cardio are all available here

    We had a great experience. We played squash, having not played for years we had a fun and exuberant time running around the squash court. The staff were friendly and helpful and all areas were clean and tidy it only cost approximately £14 and was money well spent. We'll do it again soon.

    Lovely pool. There's lots of activities happening, so be sure to check the timetable before going. Plenty of space in the changing rooms and plenty of lockers. I just wonder why no slides or diving boards were put in like in the old building!

    This review is based on the swimming and changing rooms only, we have not used any other area of the sorts centre. Clean changing rooms with larger cubicles for a family to change. The showers were really warm and the toilets were clean too. We only used the small pool as we have young children we are teaching to swim, the pool was warm and looked clean. Even though it was busy there was still plenty of room without getting in other people's way. Hopefully next week we'll get to try the cafe too.

    Went swimming with my grown up daughter whilst her partner took little lad to swimming lessons. Nice pool quite chilly but okay for swimming. There's nothing else apart from a pool in the baths but looks a well equipped sports centre. Nice warm showers.

    I take my grandson to gymnastic class here on a Monday. Kieran, the coach, is so good with the kids. I have tried other classes. This is by far the best . Kieran explains well and the explanations are short, so the kids don't get bored

    It's okay. The gym is small but functional, it can be difficult to get on machines unless you go when it's quiet. The swimming pool is a good size and easy to access if you have mobility issues. Not the cleanest and it occasionally smells extremely strongly of urine (which I think comes from the kids pool), but I try not to think about that too much or I would stop swimming. It's often busy which can make it a bit awkward but that's the same at most swimming pools. Overall pretty good, I just wish they would sort the smell out.

    Fantastic time at ComicCon

  • 4/5 John T. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasant place for families to watch their children swimming. We just dropped in for a short break. Coffees and a Cornish pasty.

  • 5/5 Belinda W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely swim followed by cake and coffee in the cafe. Always friendly staff.

  • 3/5 Vicky R. 7 months ago on Google
    Took 2 year old granddaughter. She had a great time swimming but the water was a little bit cold for her even in the children's pool

  • 5/5 John T. 5 months ago on Google
    Great facilities and friendly staff. Gym instruction always available. No fee for lockers. Toilets on all levels

  • 5/5 Anna I. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s a nice sport centre. The gym is good. And instructors are nice too and professional in their area.

  • 5/5 Simon “Zombieundead212” H. 6 months ago on Google
    I only use the gym here but can't fault it. It has everything you need for a workout whether it's lifting or cardio. The PT's are all really sound and helpful if you need it too. You don't tend to get any roided up muppets slamming weights down here either with it being a leisure centre gym and it only tends to get mega busy at peak times

    Daughter loves doing her swimming lessons but she has been on 97% for months but been told she has to be tested in deep end for next stage and the don't have the time to do it . So she can't move up.. no spaceing in other lessons for her .

  • 4/5 Christine B. 2 years ago on Google
    Granddaughter went to the evening roller skating event and really enjoyed it. She wore a mask indoors to participate, but not sure if it's mandatory

  • 1/5 Zoe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Usually fantastic customer service at reception, never had a problem before but on entering today and waiting just to enquire about swimming lessons for my younger boy I was greeted with 'what she waiting for?' (sounding quite rude) being said to the 2 other members of staff on duty at the time

  • 4/5 Patrick M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Dean F. 2 years ago on Google
    Every time I have phoned these all they seem to do is try to direct you to their website. Then they say hold to speak to someone and play music. In fact l am not sure if there is even anyone there. If I wanted the website I wouldn't be phoning them.

  • 4/5 mogwai 2 years ago on Google
    Only went to the sports hall, decent size. Has a gym and ample parking which is free.

  • 1/5 Adam H. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor. Not a patch on the old Queens park sports centre. No slide, no diving boards, and the pools are always taken up with classes. The cafè only serves cold food options, no hot meals anymore.

  • 4/5 Antonia K. 1 year ago on Google
    All the sports and gym stuff you need. Pool is lovely. It's a family changing area for the swimming pool but they have cubicles for privacy. The cafe is nice too.

  • 4/5 Julia W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean, modern pool. Big pool is a little on the cold side when you first get in, but you soon warm up when you start swimming!

  • 4/5 Noreen K. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Basil B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Marie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Rang to book a gym place one Friday and told it was closed due to repairs to floor in gym room. Went the following week and and it was not closed , gym as normal. Found out it was Staveley that was shut??? Also told price I had to pay was more than it should have been. Sorted it out and paid proper price. Not happy
