Deeside Leisure Centre, Leisure complex in Queensferry, Flintshire, Wales
Deeside Leisure Centre is a sports and recreation complex in Queensferry, Flintshire, north Wales, built around an ice rink and several swimming pools. The site also has badminton and squash courts, a skatepark, and an elevated obstacle course called the Skytrail.
The centre opened as a public leisure facility and became known as a live music venue during the 1980s, welcoming major touring acts. During 2020 and 2021, the building was repurposed as a vaccination centre for the local community.
The centre became a concert venue in the 1980s, drawing acts like AC/DC, Genesis, and Bob Marley & The Wailers to this part of north Wales. That history gives the place a reputation that goes well beyond sport.
The centre is open on most days but hours vary depending on the day and the activity, so it is worth checking ahead before you go. Not all areas are accessible at the same time, as some facilities run on a booking or session basis.
The Skytrail at this centre is an elevated walkway and obstacle course suspended above the main floor, which means visitors can move through the building at height. It is an unusual feature for a leisure centre of this type, and it tends to draw visitors who are not there for the ice or the pool.
