Visit Orpington FootballClub at www.orpingtonfc.com to find out more
The Walnuts leisure centre appears to have quite a variety of sports- kickboxing on Tuesday nights, football, swimming, gym, etc etc. Its not exactly David Lloyds though...
ok so the walnuts is kind of un- desirable but hey, you could always wander the highstreet amongst all the pikeys if in need of excercise
Priory has astro-turf. Darrick Wood has Swimming pool.
DO NOT GO IN THE WALNUTS SWIMMING POOL - You either
catch something or someone will catch you (with your pants
down)
£2 million development of a tennis centre at Newstead has just been finished. That's perhaps the biggest one good thing about Orpington is that your spoilt for choice in terms of sports centres, many of which are cheap, accessible and friendly.
WALNUTS - haven't been to the swimming pool for a while, not since its been refurbished... still if its anything like it used to be DON'T GO THERE
As far as I remember, the pool is so cold it takes 10 minutes to get in and aclimatise to the temperature, and as for the changing rooms, tiles peeling off, hair every where just DIRTY. Usually able to find a couple of plasters and a scummy hairband at the bottom of the pool. If u don't watch your step then you get it stuck to you foot.
as i say, haven't been there since it got re-done, maybe its better now though i highly doubt it.
Theres a swimming pool over the top of Sainsbury's
well y cant u hav nefing hat includes a sk8board it is a sport
walnuts leisure centre has a good array of sporting events that can be participated in and not too expensive either!!

The Bromley Valley Gymnastics club is fantastic, great staff and the best place to work out if you want to avoid the skanks who pollute the Walnuts centre.
The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!
In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor
(the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.
We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!
If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.
If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
