Sports Clubs and Facilities
  • most sports are catered for weather thats at a sports centre, gym, after school club or team games.
  • That new sports complex by Asda, any Battlestar Galactica fans won't be able to miss it, the building looks like it was constructed by the Cylons :D Go on, take a look and tell me I'm wrong!
  • you have got ABC (boxing club) in ladyshot that seems to have been there forever. The swimming pool has now closed down because it needed to have 1 million pounds spent on it to bring it upto standards. Even though they haven't been used since about 1989 the tubes are still standing! Infact I think I have a t-shirt somewhere that says "Harlow tubes 89" on it. I used to love going on there when i was a kid but I think people used to stick razor blades on the tubes and a few people got injured. Why do all the best things in harlow always close down?
  • harlow pool, harlow sports centre and esporta
  • Quite a lot but run down
  • Local sports centre
  • my family are all into rugby, and Harlow rugby club's youth section is fantastic, and the boys down there really know how to enjoy themselves, i have seen some stuff let me tell you.
  • Harlow Rugby Club, Cannons Brook Golf Course, Harlow Sportcentre, Harlow Skate Ramps.
  • harlow is incredibly sports orientated actually! Astro turfs, rugby pitches (near the fiat garage), cricket pitches (bit further up than the ruby pitches) golf course (right up near the pinnicales) two sports centres, the local council pool (watersides have been out of use for bout ten years due to some little darling sticking razor blades n rusty nails inside the flumes!)
  • Harlow is essentially a football town and there are plenty of clubs to join if you want to. If you like to swim then dont bother going to the town pool. Its probably safer to swim at Southend!
  • Harlow Cricket Club has probably the best pitches in town but it is located in Old Harlow. Sort CC has a three nets at Ashtree field which is handy for practice and they are a freindly bunch of people and make you welcome.
  • Warrens guide to sport will involve the harlow windmill where men and women alike take part in a new kind of martial art which involves flailing arms and legs in every direction until someone falls over or someone fouls you with a beer bottle or other intrument, usually a harlow lady in tk maxx clothing
  • Harlow FC is a semi-good non league team. Harlow rugby club is one league away from the nationals. There's a good running club, sports centre and swimming pool which are being alowed to rot so they can be pulled down and replaced with more unafordable houses
  • Hackers Indoor Golf - great facility for improving your swing, cutting strokes off your short game, and having loads of fun playing a range of courses on their golf simulators. The people are friendly and it's a great place to meet new people who share your love of the game. Very casual and great hours.
  • If you like bowls or cricket then you're fine. Boxing however is a completely different matter
  • Swimming pool which is probably going to be closed soon. Local football club (last time I looked). Rugby club who are trying to sell their own ground so houses can be built on it. Golf club which supplies some passable mountain bike jumps, though they'll swear at you. swear back and escape down the river to tje pub in Eastwick.
