Meadowbank Sports Centre is one of the best sporting facilities in Edinburgh and shockingly I have not used it as much as I should. When I have visited it though, I have always been impressed by the facilities on offer. The sports centre has a good selection of Astroturf pitches for football which are floodlight. The prices for the pitches aren't too bad when everyone clubs together, however if you are only wanting a kick around then I would advise that you go somewhere cheaper. As well as football pitches this centre has a swimming hall, large sport halls and a gym. My most recent memory of this place was on the night of the recent General election, when I was one of many watching over the votes getting counted. Throughout the night I was impressed by how large and modern the place was. A great sporting facility in Edinburgh!

I went here to try a Winchell's Doughnut since there has not been one in my area for quite a while. I went there around noon and asked for a glazed doughnut. I would assume that this is the most popular and a staple of any doughnut shop. Apparently they were out of glazed doughnuts. The two stars goes to the staff, they seemed truly disappointed that there were unable to meet my pastry needs.

My 4 year old attended the week long All Sport Camp. On Friday they take the kids to the park across the street and they left him there. THEY LEFT A 4 YEAR OLD KID, IN THE PARK, BY HIMSELF!!!! Fortunately for us, a park employee found him and called the City Marshall's and he was returned safely. I supspected Meir (sp?) was lying to us about the whole incident, I am sure he was trying to cover his own ass. My suspicions were confirmed when I got a copy of the report from the Marshal's office. The Marshal said he would have pressed charges if he could but could not prove intent. Needless to say, any parent who loves their kid should avoid this place. You literally may not get your kid back if they do to your kid what they did to ours.

This place is amazing. Who would have known the best ramen in town would be off strip. I make it a point to stop here whenever I am in town.
