As well as being
the country’s largest city, Glasgow is now officially
the sporting capital of Scotland after it was voted
the European Capital of Sport in 2003. With world class facilities such as The National Badminton Centre [map] at Scotstoun and the stunning 50-metre pool at Tollcross Park Leisure Centre [map], the city’s commitment to sport and leisure is unrivalled in Scotland. Glasgow also attracts the very best in sporting events from the UEFA Champions League Final in 2003 to televised international athletics and gymnastics, and let’s not forget the city's two great mass participation sporting events – The Great Scottish Run and the Britannic Asset Management Women's 10K run. In addition to all this the city is at the forefront of sports development, running coaching programmes across a wide range of sports including football, swimming, badminton and rugby. If you fancy working up a sweat, trying to lose a few pounds or just want to get fit during your stay in the city then why not make the most of the 24 sports and leisure centres here. Among the facilities on offer in Glasgow are, fitness classes, swimming pools, flumes and water features, health suites, sports halls, tennis courts, badminton courts, running tracks, five-a-side and seven-a-side pitches and full-sized football pitches. All sports facilities can be booked on a casual basis by using a Glasgow Leisurecard, which offers additional discounts on the cost of most leisure activities. The Leisurecard will also give you the added benefit of being able to book by phone or in person at any football centre, sports centre and swimming pool, up to seven days in advance. One of the best leisure centres in Glasgow at the moment is the Drumchapel Pool [map], which has a luxurious health suite complete with sauna and steam room, showers and a relaxation area with a television. You can also enjoy the range of toning and cardiovascular equipment designed to give you the look you've always wanted, or you could try the extensive fitness class programme, learn to swim classes and women's evenings. If all that sounds too energetic, why not just opt for a dip in the pool, and with a small pool for the children, you can take the whole family to Drumchapel Pool if you want to. |
