About Sunderland Aquatic Centre
Don’t let the weather stop your little ones from running around and blowing off steam! Take them to Sunderland Aquatic Centre for a huge selection of all-weather facilities, including a 50-metre Olympic pool, diving pool, gym and the kids’ favourite - a three-tier soft play area.
The play area is designed for kids under 8 and features designated spaces especially for babies and tots. With lots of climbing, sliding and diving involved, your cheeky monkeys will be busy for a while, so you’re welcome to enjoy a cuppa at the on-site café while they play.
- Amazing three-level soft play
- Inflatable fun swim every weekend
- Olympic & diving pools
