Sports & Leisure
There is so much to see and do in Wigan and the surrounding area. Whether it be a visit to one of our leisure and sports centres; or a gentle stroll around some of our two thousand acres of green space and seventeen parks.
Sport plays a big part in the culture and lifestyles of Wigan Borough. There are superb facilities for both participants and spectators a like as well as great venues showcasing professional sports events. There is the DW Stadium, which is host to Wigan Athletic Football Club and Wigan Warriors Rugby League Club; a choice of six swimming pools around the Borough; and numerous leisure centres offering a multitude of sports facilities, past time events and keep fit regimes for the whole family. There are also specialist venues such as Three Sisters race track and Haydock race course. There really is something for everyone.
In Leigh, the completion of the £83m Sports Village was the biggest investment in public sports, recreational and educational facilities in the borough for many years and is the catalyst for further regeneration and investment in the area.
For all the golf enthusiasts the existing complex within Haigh Hall Country Park has benefited from £3 million investment resulting in a 9 hole “Crawford” course, a “Himalayan” 18 hole putting green, Golf Academy Practice and Short Game areas. In 2002, the fantastic 18 hole Balcarres course opened.
