Positive experience: A good multi purpose venue for sports. Has the usual kiosk for snacks (chips, drinks, ice cream). Also a hall for more sedate activities. Venue also hosts Roller Derby practice sessions on a Sunday morning. So if you want to get into roller derby be sure to go and check out the practice.
