Most leisure centres in Cardiff, capital of Wales, are owned by Cardiff Council. Since 2016, the running of eight formerly Council-run leisure centres has been outsourced to Greenwich Leisure Limited, operating under their 'Better' branding. Channel View Leisure Centre continues to be managed by Cardiff Council, whilst the Cardiff International Pool in Cardiff Bay is run separately by another private company.

Channel View Centre (Welsh: Canolfan Channel View) reopened on 1 March 2002 after a period of closure from 1997, in Grangetown in the south of the city.

Its facilities include a sports hall with 3G Astroturf pitch, outdoor five-a-side 3G Astroturf pitch, fitness suite, dance studio, music room, activities area, climbing wall, squash court and a World Trail (outdoor exercise equipment which has the following stations: Step Up, Push Up, Beam Jump, Climbing Wall, Body Curl, Leg Lift, Vault bar and Horizontal Loop Ladder.). Activities include junior activities, children's parties, holiday programmes and fitness classes including aerobics, circuits, boxercise and cardio and kickboxing.

The centre is also host to Cardiff Bay Water Activity Centre which offers a wide range of water and land based activities.

The centre is served by Cardiff Bus service 9A and Grangetown railway station.

Eastern Leisure Centre (Welsh: Canolfan Hamdden y Dwyrain) opened in 1982 in Llanrumney, serving south eastern areas of the city. Facilities include a 25m x 12m swimming pool, 6 badminton courts, multi use sports hall, 5 squash courts, fitness suite, outdoor tarmac 5-a-side pitch, activity area, community suite, crèche, junior activities, children's parties, holiday programmes, trampolining and gymnastics, cafeteria and vending machines, and a lounge bar.

Cardiff Council is planning to develop the site of the leisure centre to include a new secondary school for the area.

The centre is served by Cardiff Bus services 49 and 50.
