Rivermead Leisure Centre: Facilities for Children’s Parties
Looking for a children’s party venue in Reading? Wacky Wheelers has hosted mini Jeep driving parties at Rivermead Leisure Centre in the past. However, Rivermead has since been redeveloped, and the new building has a six-court sports hall and dedicated party rooms. We would be delighted to return. Before accepting bookings at the new facilities, we need to confirm the current layout, floor requirements, available space and equipment access with the centre.
Sports Hall and Party Space
Rivermead’s six-court indoor sports hall is a promising space for our inflatable driving track and two-seater electric Jeeps. The centre also lists three party rooms, a café and children’s soft play. Therefore, families may be able to arrange birthday food separately from the main activity, subject to the centre’s hire arrangements. We have not yet verified the hall’s usable dimensions, floor restrictions, permitted Jeep numbers or whether a party room can be hired alongside the hall.
Is Rivermead Suitable for a Wacky Wheelers Party?
Planning your party: Our hosted Jeep driving parties are designed mainly for children aged around three to six. Children take turns driving while our team manages the activity and inflatable track. Before recommending Rivermead as a confirmed venue, we need to check sports hall availability, protection of the floor, safe unloading, setup access and the centre’s permission for battery-powered ride-on Jeeps.
Parking, Access and Party Planning
Rivermead Leisure Centre is on Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire RG1 8EQ, close to the River Thames. The operator lists a car park with 150 spaces, including 20 accessible spaces, and up to three hours’ free parking; please check current conditions. In addition, the centre lists wheelchair access and accessible facilities. Our own unloading route and distance from parking to the sports hall still need checking.
How to Book Rivermead Leisure Centre for a Kids’ Party
Booking the venue: First, contact Rivermead’s operator, Better, to ask about private sports hall hire and whether electric mini Jeep driving is permitted. Ask about available times, hall hire costs, party room availability and access for equipment.
Venue: Rivermead Leisure Centre, Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire RG1 8EQ.
