The 30 Best Outdoor pool in Birmingham

“We have been using Second Nature and can honestly say that the improvement in the swimming ability of our children is remarkable. Our instructor, Katalina, is wonderful in engaging the children, initially making sure they were confident and safe in the water before moving on to teach them the usual swimming strokes. Being safe in the water in a short space of time allowed our children to have the best holiday yet as they were able to move about in the water independently and gave us the peace of mind that swimming accidents would be reduced so more relaxing all round. All in all, well worth the investment.”

“Such a lovely, tranquil place to escape to. You need a fob to gain access which is easily obtained via the website or just hang around the gate long enough aha. Clean toilets on site and tennis courts. One of my fave places to take a book and relax”

“It's really good for all age groups. Especially in holidays, good outing with kids☺️”

“WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Went yesterday afternoon for the 1hr 30 min slot. Clean pool⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Facilities I.e toilet and shower aboustly clean ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hot tub⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Manger made us feel very comfortable⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Throughout the experience the manger only came down once to start the hot tub. After that she left us to enjoy. Jules is such a nice, caring and welcoming host. Thanks for a great experience Jules. Will be definitely coming again with my family.❤️”

“Fantastic venue, plenty of parking, loads of staff to guide you, and the pools are amazing. They have hydraulic floors enabling variable water depths. State of the art gym. Also all types of classes available”

“Great place for a walk near to lots of countryside.”

“we come here after we visit kinver edge for a drink and a meal. this place is very nice, there’s seating outside when the weather is nice, they have a nice size carpark, drinks and food is lovely, especially the fish and chips, my family have the sunday roast and they love it, they keep nagging me to take them again considering we live in birmingham. friendly staff and great service. oh and the chips were delicious.”

“This place is massive in comparison to our local one. It's cleaned regularly, the inflatables themselves are spotless and the staff are really friendly. Only problem I've found is a missing lock on one bathroom stall but thats it. My step daughter and fiance love this place”

“Lovely small instructional pool - great for smaller kids and those learning to swim. Friendly staff and great atmosphere - no lockers etc things are stored in cubicles around the pool. Have to book by phone but will need your leisure number (get one on Bham Council site)”

“I have used the facilities multiple times and I have found the staff welcoming and friendly. The pool is lovely and warm which makes swimming more enjoyable for me. I have seen multiple reviews about their car parking and ‘lack’ of signs for registering their vehicles. In my eyes you shouldn’t be driving if you can’t see multiple signs darted about, along with a 6ft banner in the reception area! In all great pool and staff”

“My teenage son and his friends go swimming here every Sunday after closing time during a private male only swimming session. They love it. P.s. the picture is taken from the backside of the building. Free parking is available at all times.”

“Usually include Little Bracebridge as part of my Park walks. Unlike its larger namesake it tends to reflect the changing seasons. It's also a great spot to just sit and ponder - if you're lucky enough to find an unoccupied seat. And if you're very lucky you'll see some of the wild ponies coming down to the poolside to drink.”

“Incredible Natural Pool company - perfect balance of listening to our ideas but also having the creative design expertise to turn my simple plan into a stunning feature in our garden. I love swimming in the pure, crystal clear water - but also love just looking at it all year round. Plus, Oko stuck to our budget and didn't go over the estimated timeframe - something I haven't encountered with builders before! Very highly recommended - I guarantee that it will enhance your life everyday!!”

“Thank you to the very helpful lady in the shop today (and yesterday!). Having recently acquired a house with a pool, and not having much knowledge about how to manage it, and now the hot weather has arrived - it started to go green very quickly. The lady helped us with advice as to what to do and explained it all, great relief to know we’ve got such a good company locally that are happy to help with advice as well as pool supplies. Many thanks.”

“Cleanest pool I have seen in the west midlands, the changing rooms are dated but I am informed this is a work In progress. Staff are great and the lessons they teach are spot on. Great prices and welcoming feel This is now community run due to bham city Council no longer running it Great work guys”

“Swim here once or twice a week. Lovely personal greeting to me and my wife when we came yesterday and the same receptionist wished us a happy Christmas on our way out.”

“Wicked and me son loved it and me :))))))”

“I wanted to a leave a glowing review for one of your lifeguard /swim instructors. Charles is a great lad and has a great aptitude for teaching swimming lessons. My 6 year old lad has loved every lesson and has come on brilliantly in the short time spent with Charles. Grand work.”

“Great place to train and enjoy with the family”

“Dan’s method of assessment and treatment is completely different to any other therapist I have met in the past. I came to him with a long list of sports related injuries, some of which were linked to scar tissue and past injuries! Most of the issues were resolved within 4-6 sessions. I still go for ongoing maintenance as and when required. If you’re open minded, give NKT a try. Dan is personable and a well trained professional in NKT, highly recommend.”

“Came on my 60th birthday with my family to have a go at Axe Throwing. It was fantastic fun! Joe Hands was our instructor who not only showed us how it was done but was great fun too. We all enjoyed it so much and can't wait to come back and try one of the other activities. Thank you to all at NPF!”

“Had no idea this place existed and I only live 9 minutes away, absolutely stunning settings and great wildlife.”

“Amazing place for families with children or just friends, they have bouncy castles (I guess when weather is good), playground for children, bicycle and tricycle rentals, beautiful scenery and lots of paths for long walks.”

“Lots of activities for the children. My toddler loved feeding the lambs, sitting on a horse, picking his own chicken egg and riding on a tractor trailer. Lots of animals to see and plenty of outdoor spaces to play in. Really lovely farm. (Soft play is also there but we didn't go in due to the gorgeous) Recommended place to visit”

“What a beautiful place to walk around and see many birds. The Visitor hut wasn't open when we went on Sunday but there are toilets, café, and small shops at Middleton Hall a short walk from the car park. £4 parking for non members.”

“My three kids have been to GSA for the last few years. The improvements in their swimming and confidence in the water have been worth every penny, and the enthusiasm and genuine sense of care from the likes of Lillia and Dan who have coached my current two kids has been stand out (a big compliment as I know through running my own coaching business the challenge of developing and retaining exceptional coaches)”
