Training in Newton Stewart

A council pool by the Cree and plenty of outdoor sport.

The Merrick Leisure Centre on Corsbie Road is the town's indoor base, with a four-lane pool, a 16-station gym and fitness suite, a three-court hall for badminton, tennis and football, and spinning on the timetable. The Factory Gym is the independent alternative, and the rest of the list is outdoor and team sport: Newton Stewart Golf Club, the rugby club, the football club and a BMX track.

Most of the town lies west of the Cree, and the Galloway Forest Park starts at its southern edge. Newton Stewart FC, the Creesiders, play at Blairmount Park in the South of Scotland league. The station closed in 1965, so buses, mostly Stagecoach Western, are the way in without a car.
