Getting there
Location
Lothian Buses 2, 3, 5, 8, 14, 29, 30, 33, 49, and 51 stop on Nicholson Street, approximately 8 mins walk away (Surgeon's Hall stop).
This centre is 15 mins walk from Waverley train station.
There are lots of bike racks very close to the building entrance.
There is limited free parking on site, which can often be very busy if there is an event on at the centre. If the barriers are down you'll get a ticket at the barrier as you enter the car park, which you need to scan at reception for free parking. Look for the scanner on the front of the reception desks or ask at reception.
There no publicly accessible parking on site, but on-street parking nearby is free from 6.30pm on weekdays - check the council website for details.
Access
The squash courts are on the left after the gates.
The courts are booked under the name of Edinburgh Curveballs.
Facilities
Changing and showers
There are womens and mens toilets and changing rooms, as well as individual gender-neutral accessible toilets and changing rooms close to the courts, and others all over the building.
You are welcome to use whichever showers and changing facilities you feel most comfortable in, or turn up dressed to participate - we can keep bags and coats next to the courts with us, or lockers are available.
Accessibility
The squash courts at the Centre for Sports & Exercise are on the ground floor and the building has wheelchair access throughout all areas we'll be using, except for a small step into the squash courts themselves. There are accessible toilets and changing in the areas near the courts.
