Can the public use the Sportspark?
Yes. The Sportspark was funded by primarily public money through the Sports Lottery grants. 85% of our overall usage is by public customers. We operate via a pay and play system which avoids joining fees and membership schemes.
When can I swim?
The swimming pool is largely unprogrammed to allow people to swim at any time of the day. Go to the swimming page to view the pool programme in more detail.
Can I park easily?
The Sportspark has its own carpark just off University Drive that is free of charge to our customers. Students and UEA staff are not allowed to park in the Sportspark car park.
In the busy evening periods from 1630, customers can also park in the main UEA car park for free, by taking a ticket and validating it in the main reception foyer before leaving.
What are Sportscards?
Sportscards are available for children and adults. They offer the customer discounts off certain activities and give free access to the Sportspark. Sportscard holders also have preferential booking rights. Please click on Sportscards for more information.
Why is there an admission charge to the Sportspark?
The Sportspark asks all users and not just active participants to make a contribution towards the cost of operating and maintaining this wonderful building. The controlled admission also allows us to increase security for young people within the building and to offer discounted SportsCards for regular users of all ages (more details).
