Pool in Manchester

“I've been going to Boundary Park for 4 years, ever since my sister dragged me into open water swimming. Boundary park is clean, warm enough and well run. The November bonfire events were great, though someone has bought the land and put a bungalow on it now. Staff are friendly and helpful. Coaching sessions are available. The only downside is that where the pond weeds grow there is the risk of duck fleas. A rash vest puts paid to most of them”

“Really like the equipment and tables, great prices too which is another reason why here is my new go-to pool place. Staff are friendly and chatty and always looking after the place by regularly collecting glasses etc. The tables in here are great and there's many of them so you very rarely have to wait to play. I like the fact that the equipment is also of a good quality, makes playing so much better - definitely a huge upgrade compared to playing in pubs. I'd recommend here and will be coming back often. Don't listen to the degenerate 1* reviews, absolute nonsense.”

“A lovely clean and well set out place, unlike others I have been to. Really enjoyed the outside hot tub. I appreciated the complimentary refreshment. The afternoon tea was excellent, very tasty.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just wanted to thank Meghan from Swim Oldham – I honestly have no words to express my gratitude. The way she managed my little one during his very first swimming lesson was mind-blowing. Without her support, it simply wouldn’t have been possible. I am truly grateful to her and can’t thank her enough!”

“Good deal on Group-on at time of writing. This place is great, clean, well priced with loads to do. There's a play frame, climbing walls, leap of faith, death drop, high climb and a caving section too (some are extra on admission). The cafe is well priced, with a good selection. We only did the play frame today but will most definitely be back to try the rest out.”

“Always clean. Had to shut for a while due to a leak, but still a great place when it opened again. Swimming lessons offered for kids too.”

“Great facilities. Friendly staff”

“Excellent venue, easy to get to. They do an absolutely amazing burger and the chicken tenders are the bomb. Thanks Hashim for the food”

“Great place with very good facilities. Always a pleasant atmosphere. Add on to this the friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff and the five stars are well earned.”

“Amy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish . I rang up a day prior to book badminton 6-7 on Thursday and she took ownership from minute one . When we got there she was really accommodating and answered all the questions to make us feel at ease was polite and professional”

“I absolutely love the village gym, all the staff make you feel so welcome, and the atmosphere is great, also I have been having PT sessions with Lee, this knowledge is second to none and I really enjoy the sessions, also helps that he’s a city fan”

“Easy to get car slot and travel to Manchester city center.”

“This is one of the most well maintained parks I've visited in Manchester. Abundance of trees present a tranquil atmosphere. Lovely walks and views of the reservoir - beautiful”

“Very lovely park to go to, whether it's for walking around or running. I've been here so many times I've lost count. Philips Park certainly is very spacious and is being kept in a very nice condition.”

“It's always a great place to go. I take my son regularly. There is a little 2p arcade, some nice restaurants, and places to get a brew and ice creams etc. It does get really busy if its hot but it's a perfect place all year round”

“Nice park. Lots of things for everyone. Great for dogs, lots of sniff spots and places to run. Park entrance needs a bit of tidying up though if anything.”

“Most beautiful thing in bollington. We went on a trip to bollington and all the reviews that say that you must see here are not lying.”

“Grassland, wildflower meadows, small ponds, community orchard, mixed species wildlife hedge, young woodlands and the improving wince brook. Good site for bird watching, active improvements being made by local volunteers...”

“Very impressed! Spent a lovely autumn afternoon here with the children, great playparks for smaller and older children too, had a great walk in the woods, very clean, no litter, looks like a great place for making dens. We will definitely be back!”

“I took my dog today for the first time and we both loved it, we were there for around 2 hours and could easily have spent longer. It is pretty much all flat and there are lots of main paths to follow but we took the smaller paths through the wooded areas and through the middle of the fields instead so my dog could be off her lead exploring more. There were enough people around to not feel isolated but not too many that it felt crowded. I've never been before today and I already can't wait to go back and find new routes!”

“Lovely place. Very clean especially for a public park. 2 nice fishing lakes which are gin clear. The cafe is very reasonable for a coffee (£1.60) for a proper coffee) bacon butties cooked fresh and lovely, helpful staff and regulars. I'm actually a bit reticent about giving it a good review as it's so good I want to keep it to myself. Current fishing prices: Day ticket £5 for 2 rods £8 for three available from the cafe or the bailiff. Membership is also an option at a very reasonable rate. Enquire at the cafe for details.”

“We took 50 children from our holiday club ice skating here and the staff were exceptionally friendly and got us all in time for our session, the kids thoroughly enjoyed the experience!”

“This is a little gem of a park. It is small but wonderful. There is a lovely little cafe it really good value for money as well. We got three meals (toasties and jacket potatoes) three drinks and a toasted teacakes and it was just over £20. The food was lovely. We had a walk round the lake and park. Fully wheelchair accessible too. Parking is street parking but we had no issues. We went on a Sunday. Will be going back agaon”

“Great Park for the kids, plenty to do and enough seating for the adults.”

“Awesome place for a walk and to see some top railway history really nice area.”

“I loved the walk with my dog good for them to be off lead they love new places”

“A lovely place to go for peace and quiet, a picnic and a stroll. It's lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, even if only for an hour or so. Could do with more picnic benches in different areas around the lake. Only complaint is irresponsible dog owners, not picking after their dogs.”

“Beautiful place. A large play area for the younger ones. Sand too, zip line, tennis field and plenty of walking, dog friendly.”

“Amazing place, very convenient for swimming. It is very unexpected for England, but people be polite and take all the garbage with you and don't leave it in nature. Very ashamed of it. I understand why the people who live nearby are very unhappy about it.”

“I come here often as I live in the local area. It is a lovely park with lots of greenery for young people like me to relax and get drinks at the shops nearby. It also has a good playground for younger kids, and a football pitch and tennis court for some sports. Really good.”
