   I love this paddling pool, went about 30 years ago and today with my grandson, easy to find, lovely ladies to show you in and clear and very clean water, there is a toilet/changing room, seats and a low wall and grass to sit on, i honestly cannot praise Congleton enough for keeping this iconic treasure in such good condition, a lovely free day, and can take a picnic, excellent.

   Queued for nearly an hour. Then was told it was at capacity. I understand rules such as these, but we've been before and twice as many people were allowed in. I have one very unhappy child.

   First visit. Struggled to find it from Google maps. just follow the brown leasure signs. It’s a lovely paddling pool for kids. Free entry with free parking next to it. Safe enclosed premises with toilet facilities available. Lots of seating around the pool for adults or sit on the grass bank for a picnic. 100% recommended

   Pool looks amazing and heard how fab it is , after several attempts to put our names on the waiting list, I last got emails at 10pm to say slots had became available I had my phone in my hand so acted immediately and when I got through still had no joy of being able to get tickets for 2 excited girls. Poor system , so many genuine people losing out due to others booking and not showing up . Whatever happened to allowing people to just turn up and have a fun day without the hassle of having make bookings for something that’s free

   Online bookings only that are often full for 140 people well in advance but still lots of no shows. I went when there where less than a 100 show and they still couldn't let us in. Seems a waste of resources when the council haven't imposed rules to prevent this happening.

   The pool itself is 5 stars without doubt. Unfortunately the booking system is horrendous. I managed to get tickets for me and my son after about a month of trying and there were maybe 50 people there the whole time ( 140 tickets were sold ) meaning almost 100 people didnt turn up. People book multiple slots on all days in advance and don't bother turning up, meaning many other parents cannot take their children and enjoy a pool that we pay extra in our council tax for. I have many fond memories of the pool from when I was a child in the 90s, and again when my oldest was little about 10 years ago but I cannot say the same about it now. The booking system has ruined this pastime for many parents

   All you have to do is book online via congleton town council and you get a 3 hour slot. It's about 60' in diameter and at its deepest it's just under knee deep to an adult, it's clean and safe for the kids. Best part, it's free. There are no refreshments on site, you can bring your own though. The only amenities on site are a toilet and some bins and 7 benches, there is space to lay out a towel and lounge in the sun though.
