About South Reading Leisure Centre

South Reading Leisure Centre on Northumberland Avenue, close to the Select Car Leasing Stadium, is a welcoming community centre with a 25-metre, 6-lane pool for lane swimming, aqua aerobics and children's lessons. There's a sports hall for badminton, basketball and netball, floodlit outdoor tennis courts, and 3G pitches for 5, 7, 9 and 11-a-side football, run in partnership with Reading Football Community Trust.
