Training in Castle Vale
A community pool and a chain gym.
Castle Pool, run by the Castle Pool Community Partnership charity since 2015, has a 25 m swimming pool, and S4 Swim School shares its address. Castle Vale Stadium on Farnborough Road has a grandstand over its main pitch, and Castle Vale Town FC and the Thierry Small Academy share its postcode. The Gym Group Birmingham Kingsbury Road covers open-access lifting, and Martyn Ford Gym and Castle Vale Taekwondo are on the list too.
At its wartime peak, Castle Bromwich Aerodrome tested 300 Spitfires a month, and the Sentinel sculpture on Spitfire Island marks the link. The estate is bounded by the A38 Kingsbury Road and the A452 Chester Road, so a training partner from Erdington or Castle Bromwich is not far away.
