All Seasons Leisure Centre

All Seasons Leisure Centre sits on the outskirts of Leyland and is the sort of place you'd take the kids when the weather turns properly miserable. It's an indoor sports facility with a swimming pool, gym, and various courts - the bread and butter of leisure centres up and down the country. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

You'll want to bring younger children here if you're staying at Royal Umpire Caravan Park nearby. A quick splash in the pool beats another hour in a caravan when you've got restless kids. The centre also runs classes and activities, so it's worth checking what's on during your visit - school holidays tend to have more going on.

Access details aren't immediately clear from their website, so ring ahead before you go. Admission costs and opening hours do vary, particularly if there are school holidays or special events. It's not a destination in itself - don't plan a day around it - but it's a solid rainy-day option if you're touring the Lancashire parks. The location in Leyland makes it reasonably accessible if you're based anywhere in the area.

For a proper day out with better views and fresher air, you'd be better off at any of the regional parks. But as an emergency activity when the forecast looks grim? It works.
