Leisureworks operates The Louisa Centre in Stanley, a family-friendly leisure centre offering a wide range of activities for all ages. The centre features a state-of-the-art gym, two swimming pools (25m main pool and a teaching pool), three fitness studios including a Technogym spinning studio, and a Move Hub for assisted exercise. The Play Zone soft play area offers three levels of fun with a dedicated toddler space, slides and climbing obstacles. The centre also boasts the largest TAG Active Arena in the North East — an interactive gamified obstacle course — plus a Clip 'n' Climb climbing challenge wall. Additional facilities include a sports hall, shooting range, nursery, library, meeting rooms, and the Thrive Kitchen café serving hot food and refreshments. Birthday parties are available for up to 30 children across different activities.
