Dunoon Leisure Centre

The leisure centre sits right in Dunoon itself, which makes it handy if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Hunters Quay Holiday Village and the weather turns Scottish. It's a proper community sports facility - swimming pool, gym, soft play areas, badminton courts, that sort of thing. Nothing fancy, but it does what it says on the tin.

You'd be looking at this mainly if you've got young kids who need to burn energy between walks, or if someone in your group is keen on a swim. The pool's the main draw, honestly. On a drizzly afternoon when the Clyde views aren't doing much for you, it's a solid backup plan.

As for the practicalities, I'd suggest ringing ahead or checking their website before you go - opening hours vary and there are usually small fees for different facilities. An hour is enough time unless you're planning to do the full works with the gym. It's not the sort of place you'd build a day around, but paired with Beach House Pods or The Secret Glen Campsite nearby, it fills a gap when you need it. Real strength is being close enough to the town centre that you can combine it with a fish supper or a wander round Dunoon's seafront without too much faff.
