The Oasis Leisure Centre - Added to Sporting Venues and Arenas in Swindon, South West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

The now abandoned Oasis Leisure Centre in the heart of Swindon.

There has been many attempts and draft plans submitted to bring this once thriving leisure centre back to life but unfortunately nothing as of yet seems to get started.

We parked in the entrance to the old car park which is now gated off and took off in the car park. We did get confronted by security who politely asked us not to fly over the building but had no issues with us flying otherwise.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 12/01/2026. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.

Interesting, but sad too. I hope they manage to bring it back to life. As a child I used to visit a venue very similar in Dartford, Kent, it was an amazing place / experience but also sadly closed down - it stood there unused for many, many years: Remembering Kent's lost Floridian tropical paradise Fantaseas Water Park in Dartford
