i run a taekwondo club twice a week at this venue, I cant fault the facilities, place and the staff...Simon and his team have made us feel so welcome over the last year and I wouldn't go to any other venue for my club...highly recommend it xx
great place to play football on, great 5 a side courts and the staff are very friendly and helpful, I come once a month to play football in a league and you will get a nice welcome from staff, changing rooms are well sign posted. I am happy to come to Walker Dome
good quiet gym with 50k bells and plenty of benches !!
Super friendly staff and great venue!!!!
It was hot outside but cool in the Dome. Lots of space, nice and fresh sandwiches. Queues for the toilets build up at the end of the morning Session - as people get ready to leave!! The only uncomfortable part of the Dome experience!
Had my little boys's 2nd birthday party here on Saturday & we all absolutely loved it. The bouncy castle went down a treat with the kids as well as the soft play & giant games. Function room is a good size for food & for kids to play. Staff were amazing, so helpful & couldn't do enough for you, even rang me the day after to let me know we had left some items behind. Thank you so much again :)
Had an amazing day yesterday opr ing first proper game started off more than a litttle nervous but thanks to all the support was amazing can't wait to do it again :-)
Had an absolutely amazing day for my son's 6th Birthday, facilities were great and there was so much for kids of all ages to do.
The staff were lovely and helpful and I would definitely book the dome again.
Thanks for making my son's birthday a great day.
Had a great time. Facilities good. Atmosphere great. A great community asset.
Had a fantastic children's party there today. Staff were brilliant and equipment went down a storm. Especially the bouncy castle!!
Good venue and very helpful and friendly staff
Excellent facilities, including cardio gym, weights, strength gym, squash, badminton & table tennis, huge sports hall, children's parties, Gymnastics programme, fitness classes and 5,7 and 11 a side 3G football pitches. Very friendly staff who will go out of there way to ensure you have a fantastic visit.
Very supportive and great staff
Much better than before well done simon even though you are under staffed, the three trainers Noel Hanlon Matty Starforth and Alan Dalgrano are first class I would give them 6 stars if there was anything like that !!!
Having visited the place only once a year for nigh on the last ten years with several hundred pupils in tow, then I would say it's a good venue. The outdoor facilities look superb, and what I have seen of the gym and elsewhere looks good too. Some of my colleagues attend weekly to play sports and don't highly rate the changing facilities cleanliness or functionality, but there you go. Fix this (water pressure/ shower temperature?) issue and ratings will surely improve.
