Sports and Recreation

The White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre is situated off Audlett Drive, one of the town’s peripheral roads. Activities/facilities accommodated in the centre include tennis (indoor and outdoor courts), swimming, squash, badminton, basketball, gym, fitness suite, netball, bowls and a creche. The Abbey Meadow at the end of Abbey Close has a heated outdoor swimming pool, a children’s water play park (which are both open from May to September), tennis courts, crazy golf, a 9 hole pitch and putt golf course in the Abbey Gardens and a children’s play area. It is adjacent to the Abbey Grounds area which has been recently restored by the Vale of White Horse District Council with the assistance of a Heritage Lottery Grant.
