Cozenton Park Sports Centre - (Near Kent, UK)

5 /5 Mark Rothery: Decent gym and pool. Loads of fitness classes in an excellent airy and bright fitness studio. Free parking with EV charging. A recently opened cafe with viewing area for the pool makes it a great place to bring the kids for swimming lessons

5 /5 Colin Crowhurst: Im not one to write many reviews but felt the need after the positive experience here. The facilities are really good and the whole place was very clean. The main reason for leaving a review was that the staff were really friendly and noticed that our autistic son was struggling with the noise levels upon entering the pool. Off their own back, they came over and asked if it would be helpful to turn the music down a bit, which they then went and did. This helped our son settle and ultimately ended up really enjoying his experience there. Little gestures like this go a long way and it was great to see the staff recognise our struggles without having to ask. We also used our Access disability pass and carers cards at these facilities with no problem at all. Well definitely be returning.

4 /5 Sarah Wilson: Better than Swallows in Sittingbourne for families with young children. I came here with my two children under 3 and we all had a great time. There was a 3 hour slot so we didnt feel rushed; other swimming pools we looked into only have an hours slot, which isnt long at all once you have managed to get young children ready. Staff were visible and friendly. The toddler pool had bubbles, a fun slide and big mushroom water fountain and there was a separate deeper pool if you wanted to swim. The only negative is that the slide and wave pool were closed for no obvious reason and I found their website to be quiet confusing with all the different swimming options. But I am glad we came, it was cheaper than our local pool in Sittingbourne and the facilities are much nicer.

1 /5 Alex Knight: Don’t waste your time. Their sessions are so restrictive, you have to turn up promptly at a specific allocated time. What happened to the days when you could just go swimming for fun without having to trawl though timetables on websites and plan your day to the minute. You can’t get through to the pool by phone.

4 /5 Dani Bryton: Updated August 25: I have regularly used the facilities here now for almost a year, and consistently for 6 months now. The pool is the same, and I would say the changing rooms are only slightly cleaner - I think its actually more that they are not cleaned early enough in the mornings, and that customers are not mindful of others using the facilities behind them. I have also experienced this in the gym, where many users do not wipe machines after use, or they use their own towel, without any spray, so are just spreading their own sweat everywhere. On one occasion, this couldnt be helped as all paper for spray was completely out - this could do with being checked more regularly. I am usually in the gym for 90minutes +, and have only seen staff of theyre giving an induction - it would be nice to see the machines cleaned properly occasionally! In terms of equipment, there is a good variety, and Ive never had to wait around for a machine, without the option of using something else in the interim. One last on reception is friendly, and makes an effort to look up and smile or say good morning, but none of the others do at all - I think this is the positioning of the desk, so they are literally hiding behind their screens and desk. This means Im still yet to ask about TRAKK code, which wasnt given to me at my induction, and I bought swimming goggles elsewhere, despite the 20% discount if I bought at the desk. Overall, its excellent value for money, especially when compared to other local gyms with similar facilities. February 25: Ive only used the pool so far, which is always clean and usually warm, although theres been 2 mornings its been a bit chilly. Showers and changing rooms were clean when I first started attending in November, but its evident theyre not cleaned well now. These photos are from the changing rooms and the marks on the walls have been there since the beginning of January, and were still there earlier this week, so at least 6 weeks. Hairdryers are a bit rubbish too. So, facilities are pretty okay, but cleanliness is dropping rapidly!
