Meadowside Leisure Centre

The refurb here has genuinely made a difference — this isn’t just a lick of paint, they’ve added an inflatable football pitch, a race track, and proper themed role-play rooms with actual toys kids want to play with. It’s aimed at the 2–8 crowd and hits the mark pretty well for that age group. Parents tend to rate it highly for cleanliness, which sounds like a low bar but honestly isn’t always a given with soft play. There are benches dotted around so you can actually sit and keep an eye on things without hovering, and the enclosed layout helps. Birthday parties get booked up fast here, so if that’s what you’re after, don’t leave it too late.
