London

The Millenium Arena is a gem of a sports complex in the middle of battersea park. Plenty of tennis courts, a running track, gymnasium, bike hire and much more.

The original track here was built in the 1920s and was cinder and 3 laps to the mile. It is now officially known as the Millennium Arena but previously it was just called Battersea Park Athletics Track. The downstairs of the pavilion is for athletics changing and the upstairs is a fitness centre. It was first used for a Scouts meeting on 21st May, opened to the public for training on 22nd May, was officially opened by Tessa Sanderson on 1st June and the official track opening meeting was on 4th June 2000.

I am very tempted to join the tennis bit of the complex. £39 joining fee and £8 per hour on court may sound expensive, but these courts are great quality (unlike vauxhall and waterloo) and the location is fantastic.
