A parkrun, squash and a Victorian park.
Blackhill's training leans outdoors. Blackhill parkrun is on the list, alongside Consett Squash Club, Consett & District Golf Club, Shotley Bridge Cricket Club and Emily Shaw Fitness. For pools and a full gym, Consett Leisure Centre has two pools, an eight-court sports hall and squash courts.
Blackhill and Consett Park opened on 11 July 1891, given by the Consett Iron Company to its staff, and still has a bandstand, an outdoor theatre and two bowling greens. Derwent Reservoir lies just west of Consett, a longer outing to plan with a training partner.
