Overview

From the pavement to the pool, Tollcross was a breath of fresh air in terms of access.

Transport & Parking

Plenty of disabled bays right along the front of the centre with lowered kerbside.

Access

Level access from the car all the way through the changing rooms and into the pool! Wide automatic doors at the front entrance leading to a spacious reception area, top marks.

Toilets

The accessible toilet I was shown was the best I have seen in any venue, anywhere in the world. At one point there were 6 wheelchair users and 3 others in the toilet and there was still plenty of space!

Staff

We were shown around by a member of the Glasgow 2014 organising committee and the centre manager. They were both very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Staff overall were great.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

During the Commonwealth games Tollcross will host the swimming event. The accessible shuttle drops off in Wellshot primary school 50 yards away. Can't get much better than that.
