Public pools & Water park in Widnes

“My little boy has done the baby swimming lessons with Rosie since he was 1; he’s just moved into swim 1 and he’s got so much confidence and doing really well. Great swim school, lovely staff”

“Great place to take the kids and it costs nothing play areas for all ages. You can actually buy food from a machine for £1 to feed the ducks but watch out for the pigeons there is a small wooded area where the squirrels will come and eat from your hand. The cafe is very reasonably priced and is dog friendly”

“I am happy to share my first experience with water nation. We order IBC'S 2-3 per month obviously when you order you can choose the option to arrange a collection of the empty IBC's. Very accessible and straight forward procedure. Exactly that happened: I ordered 3 and asked for a collection of 2 that we had from previous order. In few days - nothing happened, I was already panicking because by that time I had already 4 empty IBC's and no signs of anyone trying to collect them. I called water nation - they arranged everything. I received the confirmation, but it was scheduled for a much later date then we needed. To clarify: 4 empty IBC's are quite big and needs a bit of space + the 5th one that is still full. The entire stress was around a monthly event that we were preparing for. On the event day I needed every single square meter available in our warehouse and around it to have a successful outcome of the event. I called water nation to ask for an earlier IBC collection date. I was very sceptical, it was wednesday, the event was planned for Friday and I literally had to get 4 IBC'S out by Friday. Realistically only Thursday - the only day left to make it possible. I was lucky to speak to Marta! Thank you Marta for your care, it was so much easier just to apologise and say that:"computer says - NO!"!!! - I am so grateful that Marta truly listened to my concern about Fri and how crucial is to have IBC'S collected on Thursday which was literally the next day! I was amazed that she arranged it - I bet it wasn't the easiest thing to do considering that it was needed for the next day + the service should be ordered with a 3rd party company. Marta made it real! Well done! That's not everything, on Thursday when the collection service showed up, I realised that I had to specify the quantity of IBC'S. My initial collection order was for 2 empty IBC'S however on Thursday I had already 4 empty IBC'S. The paperwork clearly showed a collection of 2 from our premises. That's IT! I made this mistake! I will have to support the consequences or just magically have the other 2 bulky massive IBC'S disappear, dissolve, vanish somewhere. With all my stress and full of shame I thought I'll try calling Marta again. Every second was crucial, because by the time I called water nation - the collection staff was wrapping up and making the paper work ready to collect my signature. Amazingly - again Marta listened carefully, She straight away took prompt action with specific instructions for me as a customer. The collection service was already wrapped up, the truck cargo bay was locked and the driver was checking the paperwork to collect my signature. He was explaining that he can't do anything unfortunately and he must collect only the number specified on the paper work - just 2 IBC'S - I don't blame him, the only person to blame was myself. And Guess what?... The driver's phone rang, after a short chat he then happily confirmed that today I'm lucky - and he is happy to collect the remaining 2 IBC's. Everything was Done and arranged within minutes from collection service arrived. Marta arranged it! what I considered impossible - she managed to make it possible! That is a real customer service and customer experience focused employee! All my respect!!! Thank you for that extra mile which clearly made my Thursday and Friday event so much easier to arrange and manage. All Respect Pavel Calenic”

“Just collected my 2 girls from Rose Tree. I was very nervous leaving them as not been into kennels before. I need not of worried, they've come home very happy look absolutely lovely . They had a bath smelt beautiful. The regular pictures posted on Facebook really reassured me . The outdoor paddocks are very secure. And lots of toys to play with. staff are really amazing and clearly love the animals like their own Thank you all for looking after Suzie & Mollie. Will defiantly use them again.”

“It's a great place for walking dogs or just a nice stroll. Open to the weather, so pick the right day. We tend to do a 1.5-hour walk, but you can carry on much further on the trans pennine if you like”

“What a beautiful peaceful place. Didn't know it existed. We were taken here by a friend we were visiting in the area. Boats ducks swans and even A heron were amongst the views. It was A beautiful sunny day too which made it even better. There's a cabin type thing for food drinks ice cream. The strawberry ice cream was amazing. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.”

“Great place to walk or just let the kids play in the trees. Rock climbing in the quarry if you know what you're doing. There are some lovely walks from Pex Hill into the village of Cronton. Quite a good spot for photography too!”

“Small but beautifully formed. A great place for a quick walk beside the Mersey maybe on your lunchbreak. The gardens were opened in1903 paid for by two local JPs according to the plaque which I've posted in the photos.”

“Absolutely brilliant stay for my birthday, staff were so attentive and made me feel fabulous. Food was great and the drinks flowed. Decorated table, card, birthday pudding, fizz and a framed pic as memento. Special shout out to Mike but all staff were great.”

“I take my dad who has dementia. The staff are lovely and the people he has met there are quite chatty. It seems to be a friendly community pub.”

“Showing it's age a bit but it's very clean. Water temperature in the pool is great for doing lengths, some places have it slightly to warm which makes distance swimming really difficult. The new, replacement building opens in Spring 2025 Halton Leisure Centre has now opened Kingsway had been demolished”
