Leisure Experience - now open
The Leisure Experience offers the ultimate in indoor and outdoor pool fun and relaxation for all, featuring a 16 metre indoor pool, toddlers’ pool with water features, outdoor spa pools, Scandinavian sauna and we think the largest heated outdoor infinity pool in Scotland. The facilities are complemented by a state of the art Precor Gym, featuring a range of cardio and resistance equipment as well as free weights.
Built using glass, steel, stone and neutral tones, the facility has also been created with the environment in mind and is powered by a woodchip biomass generator.
The outdoor pools may close from time to time should the weather conditions represent Health and Safety concerns. The infinity pool edge may be lowered in periods of cold or extreme wind to ensure heat retention of the water is maximised.
