On the site of the former park nurseries, the Blackpool Sports Centre was built in 1996, further enhancing Stanley Park’s reputation as a hub for sports and recreation. The sports hall, designed with versatility in mind, offers facilities for a wide range of activities, including badminton, table tennis, and 5-a-side football. It also features a 60-meter running track, catering to athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all levels. This development marked a significant investment in Blackpool’s sporting infrastructure, helping to provide local residents and visitors with access to high-quality facilities for both recreational and competitive sports.

The Sports Centre is part of the ongoing expansion of Stanley Park, which has long been central to Blackpool’s community life. Over the years, it has hosted numerous sporting events, from amateur leagues to school tournaments, providing a space for young athletes to hone their skills and for seasoned players to stay active. The facility also supports fitness classes and training sessions, offering something for everyone, from casual users to more serious sportspeople. Its location within the park allows visitors to enjoy not only indoor sports but also the scenic beauty of the park itself, making it a popular choice for a wide variety of sporting activities.

By providing a range of indoor sports options, the Blackpool Sports Centre has contributed significantly to the town’s active lifestyle culture, ensuring that Blackpool remains a dynamic and inclusive community for fitness and recreation.
