BALLYSILLAN, Grove, and Girdwood, three leisure facilities famous for bringing North Belfast to the forefront of the community.
The first of these, built in 1982, is Ballysillan Leisure Centre. Located on the Ballysillan Road, the centre offers a variety of programmes including fitness classes, swimming, racquet sports, football, and junior gym activities.
Opening hours vary from 7:30-10pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to 9am-10pm on Tuesday and Thursdays. Their weekend opening hours start at 10am closing at 4pm.
The second of these top-of-the-range leisure centres is the Grove Wellbeing Centre.
