Silksworth Sports Complex & Ski Slope
Silksworth Sports Complex & Ski Slope
Silksworth, Sunderland | SR3 1PD | Tyne and Wear
This is the big “multi-activity” hub of the area. If you’ve got active kids or teens who get bored easily, bring them here. It features three dry ski slopes, including a massive 160m main slope. You can go skiing or snowboarding, but for a pure “fun” day out, the tubing is the big draw—spinning down the hills on giant inflatables is guaranteed to end in a lot of laughing.
Beyond the slopes, there’s a full athletics track and multiple football pitches. It’s a “working” sports centre, so it’s not flashy, but it’s high-energy and very social.
Budget & Tips: Keep an eye out for “Snowtubing Parties” or block-booking discounts. Parking is free. If you aren’t doing the sports, there is a large park and lake right next door which is great for a free walk to see the swans. It’s a solid 2 to 3-hour visit if you’re booking a session on the slopes.
