Used to love the slides as a kid. What would happen in those round areas is that you would wait for your mates to come down and join up for the next bit. There were no lifeguards in those bits so you could spend ages just messing about. Sometimes you ended up with about 10 people linked up going down the slide. Such a shame it closed. The second stop had a waterfall in it if I remember correctly.

Feel sorry for the poor bugger on morning flume checks! Where I worked someone had to feel the inside track to check for scratches and burrs before it opened each morning

I know you were walking down those slides but they did seem very claustrophobic. Terrible that people have to vandalise a place. Especially a place that had to close due to the pandemic which otherwise might still be open

Hi Alistar how you doing? Great video as always well edited with good background music added its a real shame that this Richard Dunne Leisure Centre closed down for good in 2019 bet this place holded tons of happy memories from all ages of people from 1976 all the years to 2 years ago after being used for different situations its crazy that theres some of the items used in the Leisure Centre all fit for the skip now but good that they added metal fences to deter people from getting in destroying the building its just so sad that some of these Leisure Centres are closing down for good due to many reasons people should keep these places preseved and open for many years to come but not many people would be bothered in doing it this pool is very big plus long slides to go down very funny that you took advantage of them and went down them anyways i hope your having a good afternoon so far Alistar and keep up the great content on your channel like always 👍

It's an eyesore. It will never be repurposed because it's an ugly and impractical building. Listen building status does not but feed the ego or some busy body group who probably rarely when there when open. I wouldn't be surprised if they hoped the arson would lead to the whole thing being demolished for safety reasons.

Looks in reasonable nick. Also looks horribly expensive to run.
I've had to pause again. This place is amazing. You can't tell me that the local more recent competition has anything near as good as the brilliant three-part water slides.
All it needs is a swim-up bar in the first stop at the 'hut' and they'd be quids in.
Last orders would be fun too.

From what I read this building as a listed status so can't be demolished

Around about 1990 we used to use the climbing wall there. At the time it was state of the art and people would come from all over to use it.

If you take recommendations for places to explore there is a leisure centre which closed down just down the road from my work because of “Covid” the bridge leisure centre Sydenham.

That's often the way things go unfortunately- building gets closed, owners want to build houses on site. If it's listed or planning permission denied for demolition it conveniently catches fire.

Thanks Lads for a very interesting explore and one that appears to have given you at least in part a little bit of fun too. Looks like in its day it would have given great enjoyment to many and was well used, however, once again we see yet another example of local authority miss management, limited income due to a society nowadays that feels that everything should be given to them cheaply or for free. Facilities like these cost immense amounts of money to operate and maintain and just don't have enough income coupled with poor management which then leads to closure. It was great to hear that there had been a campaign to keep the building away from the demolisher's, but unless there is a plan to go with it to put it to use along with the funding, then it just becomes another white elephant and leads to even more government money being wasted. (Fire, Police, Security, Repairs). So the only plus now that I see, is that at least we got to see yet another great explore!

Can't abide mindless vandalism, hope this building is able to be preserved and the culprits are prosecuted. Such a waste of a good recreation centre.

Great explore lads. I managed to get access to Waves in Blackburn pre demolition, but somehow lost all the photos from the explore. Walking down the slides are a back killer!

Looks like a nice fun relaxed explore, nothing like when I did wet n wild in the North east, a massive censor picked up light and movement, didn't get long inside before armed police, a dog squad, security nd normal police turned up 😂😂😂😂

What a sad building! Building this would have been very expensive even in the 1970’s. Now for it to lay empty, set on fire. It will not be long before it’s demolished.
