Plan your visit

Council centre, not a drop-in soft play

Worth knowing before you set off: Dungannon Leisure Centre does not run a dedicated walk-in soft play frame the way some centres do. Its children's offer is built around the pool and birthday parties, including a Bounce Party in the main hall with a bouncy castle, games and a staff member supervising. If you want a proper climb-and-slide soft play structure, the council's own play zones are at Cookstown, Greenvale and Maghera leisure centres rather than here. Prices change, so check current rates with the centre before you go on 028 8772 0370.

Good to know before you go:

Council leisure centres run swimming lessons, holiday schemes, family sessions and birthday parties through the year, and party availability changes by season — check the centre's own pages for current times and prices.

Before you set off

What to bring

  • 🧦Grippy socksA pair of anti-slip socks per child — most centres need them on the frame, and often for adults too.
  • 👕A spare topBall pools and big slides make for warm, mucky kids — a change of top saves a soggy drive home.
  • 💳Card or cashFor entry and the café — the coffee is the grown-up reward.
  • 🚰A water bottleClimbing and sliding is thirsty work, and there is a wipe-down at the end of it.

The story

About the centre

Dungannon Leisure Centre is run by Mid Ulster District Council and offers a swimming pool, gym and health suite alongside fitness classes and birthday parties. Its family offer centres on the pool and party packages rather than a permanent soft play hall.

The council operates dedicated indoor soft play zones at its Cookstown (Play Shack), Greenvale (Play Kingdom) and Maghera centres, so families specifically after a climb-and-slide soft play frame are usually pointed to those sites.
