🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children who swim or are interested in athletics — the track and structured junior sessions set this apart from standard leisure centres. Toddlers get a quieter, cheaper soft play than most competitors. Parents who drive should treat the car park as a gamble and have a backup transport plan ready.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Arrive early or use public transport — the car park regularly fills during peak hours
⏰Soft play is notably quieter and cheaper than nearby competitors
🎟️Junior athletics and gymnastics sessions need advance booking through reception
🚗The gym operates cashless — bring a card or use the app

“Beautiful room (second floor Motmot no 215) in a lovely hotel. Great location : feels like your in the middle of a big reserve but actually you're just 10 minute stroll to Santa, Elena town. The breakfast was beautiful, nice to have full service not buffet. As with the whole of Costa Rica the service was excellent : knowledgeable and friendly staff in all roles”

Overview

David Weir Leisure Centre packs swimming pools, soft play, a state-of-the-art gym, group fitness studio, and a full indoor athletics track — including running lanes, jump pits, and throwing cages — into one south London site. Gymnastics, junior athletics, and table tennis sessions run regularly. The cafe and accessible facilities make it workable for full family days. Parking is the persistent weak point: the car park fills fast and five visits out of ten may leave you circling.
