Barton AC is a great community facility run by friendly and helpful volunteers. It’s a Sport England funded facility to help people in the local community get active in a safe environment. It’s also affiliated to 4 National Governing Bodies of Sport. They have the odd competition and event running from here including boxing matches. Well worth stopping by and saying hello!
