Pools on the Park

“So we finally managed to book a swimming session since it was 32 degrees and baking hot yesterday. Was nice clean pool, nice water temperature kids had a blast and it was lovely to chill and have a swim. It is a nice clean and spacious place. Has a good sized changing room. Lots of lockers which require tokens rather than locks or £1 coins. Has changing rooms for families as well. Hair dryers on site which are 20p. Offers an indoor and outdoor pool (weather depending) as well as a teaching pool. Nice spacious cafe on site selling a good range of food and drinks hot and cold. Lots of space to sit inside or outside. Could even chill there before or after your session. The team were friendly and helpful and I was happy we did visit. Would have loved to have use the outdoor pool but it was fully booked since others beat me to it for booking the slots. Overall a good first time experience. Would definitely go back. Try it for yourself...”

“Easy to book timed swimming session which I think is great to avoid overcrowding. Friendly nice staff at reception. Great pool although the whole building seems unloved and outdated. My main issue is the cleanliness of the changing and shower area. The floor was filthy and the male toilets smelled foul. I nearly threw up with the smell in there. Personally I am not a fan of shared / unisex showers. Having to shower in front of women kids etc is not nice. I’d use the pool more if I could somehow avoid the chafing area, it really is gross”

“Outdoor pool pleasant to swim in in January; book your swim lane during quieter periods such as midday during the working week if you can. You need to get a token from reception for the lockers. Communal shower by the pool has a 4 second water flow before you need to press the tap. Staff were helpful. Wear your flip flops or slides because the floor looks as though it has never been cleaned (nothing that a pressure washer wouldn’t sort 😼). I think hooks in the cubicles would be helpful.”
