Birmingham has transformed its leisure facilities over the past decade, with significant investment ahead of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The city now has some of the best council-run sports facilities in the country, and they're genuinely welcoming to casual visitors.
Beyond Birmingham, the wider West Midlands-Coventry, Wolverhampton, and the Black Country towns-all have decent coverage. The region is well-connected by motorway, so if you're driving through on the M6, M5, or M42, you're never far from an option.
The University of Birmingham has excellent sports facilities with community access, which is worth knowing if you're near the Edgbaston area. For something more convenient to the city centre or NEC, the council leisure centres are your best bet.
Good to know: Birmingham can experience an urban heat island effect during summer-the air-conditioned leisure centres are a welcome refuge.
