Moonee Valley's leisure centre in Ascot Vale

Moonee Valley's Ascot Vale Leisure Centre has a 25 m lap pool, a warm water exercise pool, a health club and a group fitness hall. It sits on the corner of Langs and Epsom Roads in Ascot Vale.

Paths along the creeks and the river

Moonee Valley has separated, high-amenity shared-use paths along its waterways, particularly the Moonee Ponds Creek, the Steele Creek and the Maribyrnong River. Riding to the gym on one of them doubles as a warm-up.

Training for a team sport

When it is not being used for organised sport, the Essendon Hockey Pitch may be available for community hire, along with the Moonee Valley Athletics Centre and the East Keilor Synthetic Pitch. If you play a team sport, a strength and conditioning studio can plan gym work around your season.
