Active Places

Active Places is a website developed by Sport England which allows people to search for sports facilities any where in England.

The site currently includes information on a wide range of sports facilities - from sports halls to ski slopes, swimming pools to health and fitness. The site includes local authority leisure facilities as well as commercial and club sites.

Access to the facilities falls into three basic categories:

Pay and play – where members of the public can simply turn up and pay a fee to use the facility.

Registered membership – where members of the public need to pay a registration fee to use the facility (i.e. gym membership).

Sports club or community association – where use of the facility is dependant on the users being members of a particular sports club or association.
