Oakengates Leisure Centre, New Road, Wrockwardine Wood, Telford, Shropshire, TF2 7AB · Service area: Telford
Oakengates Leisure Centre in short
Oakengates Leisure Centre pairs a twenty-five-metre four-lane pool and two fitness suites with the Telford Athletics Stadium, including a four-hundred-metre synthetic track, plus pitches, a sauna and a steam room on one site [1]. Access detail is thorough, with wheelchair-accessible machines, a changing hoist rail and a hearing loop listed [1]. The page lists full opening hours with phone and email contacts [1].
The record shows a Wrockwardine Wood centre on New Road with Telford as its listed patch, booking through the council leisure page with session and class routes [1]. Lesson payments go through Telford & Wrekin Council, and the same record lists the centre for swimming lessons as well as gyms. Pool, gym, hall and stadium sessions share one site, so swimmers, gym users and runners train under one roof [1].
Customers give 4.1 from 419 Google reviews, the lowest base in this round [2]. No other platform rating is held for the centre, so the scorecard reads a single public verdict. That single base sits below every ranked gym here.
Our review verdict is that Oakengates Leisure Centre suits trainers wanting the widest sporting mix of the council centres. What counts against it is commercial thinness: no published prices and no traceable company record [1]. For runners, swimmers and gym users, it puts the whole mix in one place.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Oakengates suits you if you want the widest sporting mix of the council centres, pairing a pool and gym with a full athletics stadium [1]. The gaps match its sister sites: no published prices and no company record behind the listing. Its 4.1 rating is the lowest in this round [2].

Questions about Oakengates Leisure Centre
Is Oakengates Leisure Centre any good?
On the evidence, yes for sporting mix: a twenty-five-metre pool, two fitness suites and a full athletics stadium with a synthetic track on one site [1]. Reviews sit lowest here at 4.1 from 419 Google ratings, the only public rating held for the centre [2]. Ring for rates, since none are published, then visit at your training time to judge the floor yourself.
Is Oakengates Leisure Centre registered with a fitness scheme?
No mandatory register applies to gyms, and industry qualifications can't be sourced for this centre from the registers, its website or the platforms checked [1] [3]. That is an evidence gap, not a failing. Ask the centre for coach credentials in writing before you buy personal training. Treat that as a question to put to the centre, not a mark against the coaching itself.
How much does Oakengates Leisure Centre charge?
No membership prices, session rates or VAT position are published on the page, so costs cannot be compared from the site [1]. Booking runs by phone, email and session routes. Ask for the full rate list and any joining terms in writing before you commit. That leaves the joining fee, minimum term and session rates unknown until you ask.
Where is Oakengates Leisure Centre?
The centre is on New Road in Wrockwardine Wood, Telford, pairing its own pool and gym with the Telford Athletics Stadium [1]. Contact runs by phone or email. Check the page for current opening hours and session times before you travel. Its record lists Telford as its patch, so it serves the town from this one site.
How is Oakengates Leisure Centre ranked?
It sits outside the top ten in our September round, assessed against the same checks as the ranked gyms. Its athletics mix stands out while reviews and pricing evidence lag. Read the full review, then compare it with the ranked council centres. If stadium training matters less to you than price clarity, the ranked cards read stronger.
Which areas does Oakengates Leisure Centre cover?
The centre stands on New Road in Wrockwardine Wood, and its record lists Telford as its patch [1]. Pool, gym and stadium facilities share one site, with phone and email contact and session booking routes on the page [1]. Weekend hours are published for family visits. Check current session times before you travel.
How do I get a quote from Oakengates Leisure Centre?
No prices sit on the page, so the figure comes from the centre by phone or email [1]. Ask for the full rate list with any joining terms in writing. Ask about session rates as well as any membership terms. Booking runs through session and class routes on the leisure page, and lesson payments go through Telford & Wrekin Council [1].
How does Oakengates compare with the ranked gyms?
It is the athletics pick outside the top ten, pairing pool and gym with a full stadium and synthetic track. The ranked table answers with budget chains for round-the-clock training, a premium club for swim and sauna, and a Madeley sibling for pool and gym without the stadium. Read its card against those, then visit at your training time.
