Water park in Hyde

“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”

“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.”

“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 place to learn to sail. Coarse was over 2days at the weekend and this one was run by Chris. He explained all that would be involved for us to do throughout the coarse. We spent half the time each day out on the water and the only issue was lack of wind but was still able to get practice in to pass the coarse. Very relaxed friendly place and the young volunteers who help us were very understanding of us being novices. Due to issues of lack of wind had been offered couple free sessions when we want to help us get more experience. Would recommend this outdoor centre to all wanting to learn to sail or do other water based activities.”

“I went to Java after parkrun with a couple of park running friends. It was recommended by the team at Hyde parkrun and I can see why. There’s a really good range of food and drink available, and the prices are very reasonable indeed. We each had a really tasty, freshly baked pain au raisin, and one friend had the scrambled eggs on toast. This, along with three hot drinks, came in under £14. The service was first class, and they kindly replace one of the drinks I managed to spill. There’s only limited seating inside, but plenty of space outside. Highly recommended.”

“The menu is written very simply which is traditional Italian style but don't let that fool you. The food is amazing and by far the most authentic I have found in the UK and this is coming from someone who spends a lot of time living in Italy. Well done, keep it up, you deserve total success.”
