Public pools in Manchester

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“This is a great local leisure centre it has all you need. I use the gym and pool 4 nights a week, but there are so many other activities available.”

“Visited for the Rossendale Relay for Life with my Pop up bookshop - The Rainbow Book Den”

“Great atmosphere, staff and lots of parking. I love you can book swimming, although always busy it means I can get a good swim most of the time. Im a new member so haven't tried the other facilities yet”

“Just had my daughters party at Ashton leisure centre it was amazing. Danny and the team here are wonderful and really helpful. my daughter, friends and family had a great time in the pool and the party room with music and disco lights, couldn't thank them enough. Sometimes we forget what great facilities we have on our doorstep that doesn't cost the earth especially when you have a great friendly team like Dannys”

“The BEST swimming baths in Manchester! Absolutely brilliant such a lovely community feel. Very clean pool and clean gym. I love the policy of swim for as long as you like other pools give you a slot to use. No overcharging on the gym memberships it’s just perfect and affordable. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Hyde Leisure Pool is a fantastic place for families looking for affordable fun. We had a great time — the pool is clean, well-managed, and full of fun features like slides, waves, and a lazy river. It’s especially good for kids, and the environment felt safe and friendly. The entry fee is very reasonable compared to other water parks, making it a great value day out. Highly recommended for a fun and budget-friendly family experience!”

“Great for walking dogs especially in the woodland area. Has slides, swings climbing frames in the playground. Look out for the Hyde Mela festival which normally happens in August every year.”

“The park was absolutely amazing! It helped me forget all my stress and just enjoy the beauty of nature. The serene atmosphere and stunning views of the city made it a perfect place to relax and unwind. A must-visit for anyone looking for peace and natural beauty!"”

“Great, especially now they've sorted out the pool.”

“Lovely little park. It's great for kids and familes. Dog friendly. It's clean and tidy. And At the side of a rugby club. Activities usually are here in the summer so there is more for children and families.. There is also a carpark to use.”

“On a sunny day.. This place is fantastic. Lovely flat grass areas for sports. Running track that's free to use. Gorgeous river running alongside Trim track being built around the side (eventually) When it's wet though. It floods. It's muddy. It's puddly.”
