Clickimin Leisure Centre

Clickimin Leisure centre is the principal sports and leisure facility in Shetland and is located on the eastern shore of the Lock of Clickimin, a half-mile (1 km) west of Lerwick. Opened in 1985, the centre houses a 25-m (27-yard) swimming pool, complete with flumes and an outdoor lagoon. There is also a sauna, steam room and spa pool, together with a 6-court sports hall, a bowls hall, squash courts and fitness centre. Outside are sports pitches and an athletics arena.

Built in three phases, at a total cost of £16 million, the centre is the largest of the sports facilities owned and operated by the Shetland Recreational Trust, who are able to use a proportion of Shetland's oil revenues to provide community facilities.

Adjacent is a camping and caravan site.
