An open-air lido in Pontypridd suited to families with a wide range of ages, from paddlers to confident swimmers who want a splash about rather than serious lengths.
π Funzaroo Verdict
A restored community lido that pairs graded lanes with a play pool and a separate kids pool, so different ages are catered for at once. The catch is the rigid slot system that empties the pool when time is up, plus music louder than some like, and 28C water that suits fun over serious training. Worth it on a sunny day.

βGreat place, really lucky to have this on our doorstep, kids would go every day of they could. Water temperate is just right and the life guards are all very attentive. It's a shame the cafe is closed, hopefully it'll re-open next year π€π».β

βGreat facility for an open air swim. Very clean facilities, friendly staff, very reasonable prices and plenty of loungers when you want a break from swimming. I have been using the pool during term times when it never seems too busy and it has 3 graded swimming lanes. I also took the grandchildren during the summer holidays and they loved the fun sessions. My only complaint is the very loud music played over the speakers every time I have used the pool. Didn't mind it during the fun sessions but not sure that anyone appreciates the constant noise at other times.β

Overview
The restored outdoor pools come alive when activity bands are added to the mix: an inflatable obstacle course to clamber over, a floating hamster ball to tumble inside, and paddle boats scaled for smaller children. Prams roll in easily and there's a car park on hand, making a sunny day here manageable with little ones in tow.
