Ballysillan Leisure Centre

About this outing

Ballysillan Leisure Centre on Ballysillan Road has a 25-metre pool, gym, studio, courts, sports hall and outdoor 3G pitch. Families can choose public Swim for All or enrol in an appropriate swimming-lesson level; Junior Gym is specifically for ages 11–17 and requires an induction. The centre currently advertises a pool closure on 27 October, a sports-hall closure and no hot water in the female pre-cleanse showers. Check the centre before travelling: the notice headings do not establish reopening times. Swimming admission per person: non-member adult £5.80; junior age 5–15 £2.85. Pay As You Go member adult £4.60 and junior £2.25; adult concession £2.25; Swim School pupils have free swimming access. Under-fives swim free. A poolside locker requires a refundable £1. These are swimming admission rates, not swimming-lesson charges. The centre lists a disabled toilet, accessible parking, ramp access and accessible changing. There are 60 parking spaces, including six disabled spaces, and bike storage for six bikes. Metro 11a Silverstream and 12c Ligoniel are listed bus options. Choose and book the activity rather than assuming centre opening hours are pool-session times.
