Amenities and Facilities
The Beaumont Shopping Centre is the main facility, one of the largest shopping areas in the city suburbs; and a church, a large leisure centre, a library and a police station are nearby. Smaller shopping precincts tend to be on land that was previously occupied by farms.
There are also several schools including Babington Community College and Beaumont Leys Secondary School. The latter is now a specialised science school and was rebuilt in 2009 with a City Learning Centre built next to it.
The area includes a large industrial estate, which includes the main Walkers Crisps factory, Office Depot and Taylor Bloxham, as well as a smaller industrial estate to the south.
The Leicester Lions speedway team compete in the Premier League and their home track is at Beaumont Park.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
