About The John Fretwell Sporting Complex
The real value here depends entirely on what you're after. If you're staying at one of the nearby holiday parks - Center Parcs Sherwood Forest is only five miles away - and you want to tire the kids out with an hour of badminton or swimming, this works. Adults might pop in for a gym session whilst the family's occupied elsewhere. It's functional rather than inspiring.
Gym memberships and activity fees apply, so it's not a free attraction. Best to check their website or ring ahead about current prices and what's available on the day you're planning to visit - hours vary depending on bookings and term time. A couple of hours maximum is realistic for most visits unless you're genuinely committed to a full workout session.
Honestly? If you're based at Center Parcs or Sherwood Castle, you'll likely find better entertainment within your own parks. This complex makes sense if you're an athlete needing proper facilities or if rainy weather forces you indoors mid-holiday. Don't plan a trip around it, but don't dismiss it either if you need a backup plan.
