Newquay Sports and Community Centre

Rain hammering down on your holiday park caravan? This modern sports centre just outside Porth could be your salvation. The facility houses a proper swimming pool, sports hall, and fitness suite - nothing fancy, but perfectly adequate for burning off energy when Cornwall's weather turns against you.

Families staying at nearby Hendra Holiday Park or the various Porth Beach sites will find it handy for rainy day activities. The pool's decent enough for a splash about with the kids, though don't expect anything too exciting. It's very much a functional community facility rather than a destination in its own right.

What works well is the sports hall - table tennis, badminton courts, and enough space for a proper kickabout if you've got restless teenagers. The fitness suite is basic but clean, with enough kit for a quick workout.

Honestly, you'd only make a special trip here if the weather's properly grim or you're desperate for some indoor exercise. But for holiday park guests looking for an hour or two of covered activity, particularly those at Riverside Holiday Park or the Parkdean sites around Newquay, it does the job well enough. Just don't expect bells and whistles - this is Cornwall community sport at its most practical.
