Who we are
Sure Options
Sure Options also operates Jubilee Sports Bank and Jubilee Park.
Jubilee Sports Bank
Parks Options took over the ownership of Kensington Sports Centre on 01/04/2010, the management and running of the sports centre is through Sure Options.
The sports centre is now called Jubilee Sports Bank and it provides a wide variety of sports based activities and classes in the centre including a fully fitted equipped gym and large sports hall. In addition to the indoor activities we provide outdoor football pitches, astro pitches, trim trail and cycle path.
Jubilee Park
Parks Options has created an urban park on a brown field site on the area of Kensington Reservoir. This has provided a green lung for the local community. Two new entrances to the park have been established one in Jubilee Drive and one in Brae Street. The park has a children’s playground, raised wild flower beds, paths and a forest school. Much more will be added to the park over time.
