An interactive space designed to provide hours of entertainment for children and families.
Leys Pools & Leisure Centre is excited to announce the opening of its brand-new Active Zone on the 5th April, an innovative and interactive space designed to provide hours of entertainment for children and families.
The Active Zone features a wide variety of attractions for children to enjoy, including a four-level soft play area and a Tag X active gaming experience. A newly opened kiosk café will also be serving a selection of delicious snacks and refreshing drinks.
The soft play area provides a safe, fun multi-level adventure space for children under 12 years old, complete with interactive elements including slides, a giant piano, engaging game panels and lots of sensory areas. The Oxford-themed soft play area includes sections inspired by Oxford Ice Rink, Hinksey Pool and the Bridge of Sighs. Younger children can enjoy a dedicated toddler and role play zone, featuring a mini Covered Market and Oxford Castle for imaginative play. The top level even features a periscope which starts at the Leys and zooms all the way out into space!
For older children seeking more action, Tag X is perfect for children aged 8 and up. When playing Tag X, kids collect points by swiping their wristband against different illuminated tags hidden, which are within the soft play arena.
In the next few weeks, the centre will also be opening another new attraction as it introduces a climbing wall, which will be suitable for children aged 5 and above.
“We are excited to welcome visitors to our Active Zone! This new addition is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our facilities, offering safe, fun and inclusive experiences for families.
“Our soft play and Tag X are now open, and we’ll soon be joined by our new climbing wall. Make sure to check our website and social media for updates!”
Rob Jennings, Contract Manager for More Leisure Community Trust
The Active Zone is just one part of a larger series of improvements at the centre, including the upcoming Youth Hub, set to open late spring.
"The new Active Zone at Leys Pools & Leisure Centre is a fantastic addition to Oxford’s leisure offering, providing families with more ways to stay active, have fun, and enjoy time together. We’re committed to supporting high-quality, accessible facilities for our communities, and this investment is a great example of how we’re enhancing opportunities for children and young people across the city."
Hagan Lewisman, Active Communities Manager, Oxford City Council
The Active Zone will be open daily from 5 April. For more information about what’s on offer, please visit https://www.oxfordcityleisure.com/leys-pools-leisure-centre/facilities/active-zone/
