  • leisure world is the best place for sports...they have some really good pools and they have great squash and badminton courts..generally the schools are the best for fields and other courts as long as you can get to them without being caught or having to pay for them. highwoods has a great gym and sports hall at the gilberd which is relatively cheap.
  • Essex Uni offers great facilities to the public too
  • col u is cheap to get in but its near the garrison n all the bloody squaddies
  • You boarders out there have to try mountainboarding. Me and my mates went to the only Mountainboard shop in essex, Skeleton Coast and hired some boards. it was the best man. The guys who who work there do lessons and we went out on Saturday and they taught us how to board proper. Power slides and jumps man. I have begged my Mom to get me one for xmas.
