Harrier Centre

Overview

The Harrier Centre is a lovely local athletic track that's perfect for kids who want to stretch their legs and get involved in sports. With a great in-field and a well-maintained track, it's often buzzing with activity, especially during school sports days. The atmosphere is friendly, and the staff are on hand to help out, which makes it a nice spot for families. Just a heads-up, though, watch out for the goose droppings - they seem to hang around!

While it's a fantastic venue for running and athletic events, some parents have mentioned it can be a bit hit or miss when it comes to availability. Sometimes the track can unexpectedly close, which is a bit frustrating if you've made the trip. All in all, it's a great place to encourage your little ones to be active, especially if they enjoy running.
