Wheel chair access
Visit date:
Overview
Lagoon Leisure Centre is definitely wheel chair friendly. At the main entrance as you enter the car park, which is of a good size for larger vehicles entering, there is a ramp leading up to the front entrance. Front entrance has a wide turn style door which has a button which goes into disabled mode. Reception area is lowered therefore it is approachable for wheel chair users and the reception staff are really very helpful approachable & friendly. There are disabled toilets throughout the complex lower & upper and there is also lift access to the upper level. Shower/changing facilities are designed for wheel chairs & a logo feature on the lockers. In the arena area where classes and events are held there is ramp access , and sports staff are on hand to help. At the swimming pool area the big pool is like beach style therefore makes life easier not only for wheel chair users but everyone really, parents and children in particular. In the smaller pool area a hoist chair is available for disabled and again staff close by to assist! Lastly all of the doors in the centre are wide enough for wheel chairs, everything is catered for specific needs.
