Public pools 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”

“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.”

“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”
