Sports activity for all

There are over 60 sports and other types of physical activity on offer in Islington at more than 100 clubs, leisure centres, parks, community centres and other venues. There is something for everyone, whatever your physical ability, age, or whether you have a disability.

Being active cuts the risks of many major illnesses, improves the way you feel, and helps you live longer. Being active and having a healthy diet can treat obesity, which is linked to many serious health conditions.
