Public pools in Guildford

“My son really enjoyed the paddling pool! There is a nice cafe to have ice cream and snacks! Nice picnic area for families!”

“We bought tickets before seeing the reviews (rookie move) and almost didn’t bother going thinking it would be akin to Sodom and Gomorrah. Spoiler: it wasn’t. We parked (on instruction) at the college next door; it was free, but I suspect we were only allowed there as term had finished (at least for college students). It was a ridiculously hot day (August 11) and we were told there was something like 2,500 people there. While there were lots of kids, it was mainly pre-school as the term hadn’t come to an end. We arrived at 10:30. It took us less than three mins to get in and on our way. It looked (and was) clean and well maintained. We found ourselves a spot by the hedge in the park to the right (where Mexican cafe is). Yes, it got busy, but there was enough space for everyone. The pool is a little chilly when you jump in, but you get used to it very quickly. Most people were well behaved and only one or two played music (but not very loud). We’d come prepared with our own chairs, cool box and food - this was the best idea. Would we go back? Absolutely.”

“They provide a nice hardcourt (just a normal wooden basketball or volleyball clue) suitable for indoor frisbee with good air conditioning and heating especially in the winter. The artificial grass and natural grass pitches are well maintained! To finish it off staff are friendly and helpful.”

“Great gated play area for all ages of children with a swimming pool for young children open in the summer months. Lots of park benches and grass areas for a picnic within the gated park area with a few trees for shade in the summer. Swings and slides for all ages, together with climbing frame area. Adequate parking but shared for bowling green and the sports field users.”
