The 30 Best Outdoor pool in Northampton

“Fantastic place to go on any day, but a hot summers day and a swim in the river is highly recommended”

“The parking fee is £5.50 payable at the entrance next to a manned barrier. Decent parking spaces and there is a small coffee shop and toilets right next to it and a small outside gym. The first children's playground is opposite the coffee shop. There is a sandpit there and a nice climbing frame. And benches for picnics. The second one is further down the road on the left side. It has more climbing frames, swings, slides.. and benches to sit on. On the right side there is plenty of space for a picnic, a few benches overlooking the lake. And this is as far as we got. There is still a lot more to see and I can't wait to visit again. The weather has been amazing (we were really lucky) and it felt so peaceful here.”

“Very pleasant walk round. Dogs enjoy the many smells and views. Lots of fishing chilling the night away. Must be a safe place due to the amount of fishermen staying overnight. Right next to the canal not far from the Grove Lock.”

“It's very beautiful and we went when it was wet. Good loop walk.”

“Fantastic warm and friendly club. Prices are great. Function room,DJ and disco are simply fantastic. And can be hired at a fantastic price for all those special events. Car parking is ample and on the doorstep. The staff are friendly,warm and welcoming and very helpful. Had some fantastic nights here and some great well organised events.”

“A Perfect Day at Woburn Lido From the moment I arrived at Woburn Lido, I knew I was in for a treat. Nestled in the charming village of Woburn, this historic outdoor pool is a hidden gem that offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The first thing that struck me was the stunning Art Deco architecture. The beautifully restored changing rooms, with their vibrant tiles and classic arches, transported me back to the 1930s. It was like stepping into a different era, and I couldn’t help but admire the attention to detail that has gone into preserving this piece of history. As I dipped my toes into the crystal-clear water, I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect temperature. The pool is heated to a comfortable 26°C, making it ideal for a leisurely swim or a more vigorous workout. The separate paddling pool for children is a thoughtful touch, ensuring that families can enjoy their time here without any worries. The atmosphere at Woburn Lido is incredibly relaxing. Surrounded by lush greenery, the pool area feels like a tranquil oasis. I spent hours lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and taking refreshing dips whenever I felt like it. The friendly staff were always on hand, making sure everything was just right. One of the highlights of my visit was the sense of community. Locals and visitors alike come together here, creating a warm and welcoming environment. I had some lovely conversations with fellow swimmers, sharing stories and tips about the best spots in the area. After a day of swimming and relaxation, I treated myself to a delicious snack from the on-site kiosk. The selection of refreshments was impressive, and I enjoyed a tasty ice cream while basking in the late afternoon sun. As the day came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for this wonderful experience. Woburn Lido is more than just a swimming pool; it’s a place where memories are made. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a fun day out with family and friends, Woburn Lido is the perfect destination.”

“A fantastic gym and pool, great atmosphere and friendly people. Special shout out to life guard John, he’s the friendliest and most helpful person, even helping me in the gym and pushing me. He adds a sparkle to the place!”

“My consultation and treatment at Cloud9 Spa took place in a warm-toned room smelling of fabulous fresh coconut fragrance. I felt like in the Amazonian jungle. My therapist went through my concerns and expectations in a detailed and attentive way setting the tone for the whole session. I felt extremely looked after, will come back again for sure!”

“A good little visitors centre. Toilets are outside and to the rear. There's also a baby changing area. The centre offers hot food and drinks. Some outdoor seating too. Service was fast and efficient. Some good informative boards at the back of the room. Set out and runs smoothly, I cannot fault, and its a pleasure to visit this centre.”

“A labyrinth rather than a maze. One needs to follow the straight path to do the whole thing and not take the shortcuts. It's a good bit of fun but takes quite a while to walk it. I ran the second half to speed things up. Remarkably satisfying to get to the oak tree at the centre, having done the whole thing. Lovely and peaceful surroundings and a nice view.”

“Friend lives there. Hall way spotless and well kept. Lovely front entrance, plants either side of parking area”

“Hi I go to woodgreen gym the classes are good the staff Kelly kirn and all the team are brilliant they always help and sort anything out for me after my breast cancer Kelly was a god send I have meet so many nice friends and we have loads of coffee and tea times Thank goodness we have such good teachers and helpful staff Thanks Sharon”

“I haven't used the Leisure Centre, but we visit regularly to use the outdoor space. There's a very well made pump track and skate park which is very family oriented and good fun for toddlers, young children, teens and adults. There's plentiful free parking and the outdoor play/skate area is always very clean and tidy. There are toilets and snacks available in the leisure centre, however it's a great place to bring a picnic in warm weather. There's not much seating outdoors and it can get windy here, so bring folding camp chairs - there's a nice sheltered spot to sit at the side of the leisure centre, facing the skate park which also catches the sun. The play park is good for young children, but not particularly challenging for older kids, but there's lots of space to run around or bring outdoor games. You can also access nice nature walks from here, but be careful not to get your car locked in the car park at closing time if you're exploring nearby.”

“What a lovely place to swim! It’s 200m long and a wonderful way to cool down at the end of a hot summer’s day. You need to wear a bright swim hat and use a tow float. There are changing rooms but we usually get ready at the side of the lake. You can buy 10 swims for £60. Swim hats are sold at the reception and you can hire a tow float for £1. 4 lengths of this lake are the equivalent of 32 lengths in a normal 25m indoor leisure centre pool.”

“Fantastic team meeting on site. Great facilities, lovely welcome from the staff and a great afternoon of activity on the water. Would definitely recommend to groups wanting a great day out.”

“I was booked to perform at a 10 year wedding anniversary & blessing. The overall event was very much like a a wedding and the entire day and evening was amazing. It was a beautiful hot day and the views from the lakes were amazing. The venue is perfect for numerous functions and the staff are all very professional and accommodating. Socials: Sonik Wave Mobile Disco .”

“We recently stayed at the Mercure, Milton Keynes, while visiting a friend. The hotel is immaculately clean, modern and in a great location. The staff were all super friendly and attentive. Our room was on the ground floor quite close to reception. And although the room was spacious and clean, we found the bed to be a tad uncomfortable, perhaps because it's a linked bed. Nothing major but worth noting. During the night there was a dripping noise, presumably from the air-conditioning unit, which again was bearable but could be an issue to some. We stayed in the autumn but I'm sure in the summer, the AC would be very welcome. The rooms were cleaned daily, although one day our room seemed to have been half done. Towels were changed and bathroom cleaned but the bed not made up or coffee sachets left. This was rectified by reception, so once again not a problem. The rooms have multiply sockets, with USB points which is a luxury in itself. We didn't eat in the restaurant but the bar food was delicious and more than ample. We have an EV and although the chargers weren't working while we were there, there were plenty of high speed chargers in MK. My husband and I would definitely stay here again, the issues I've mentioned are very minor so please don't let these out you off staying at this hotel.”

“This gym and golf resort is the best I've been too. Great classes and lovely pool. It's well worth the money. Food in the restaurant is also really nice.”

“The best gym in Luton because it is Quiet in the morning and there have two brand new gym equipment at the 1st floor and 2 floor. It is little bit smaller than better facilities than inspire sport villages and Lea manor it is outdated there are both over crowded.”

“Great area for kids to play and walk the dogs”

“I loved coming here. I came here last week with my wife, we went to the gym and went for a swim and it was nice and clean everywhere. You have a cleaner I think her name is Alisha? Not sure if that’s how you spell her name but she was incredible absolutely my favourite staff member. I will be coming here a lot more often!! Highly recommend to come here”

“We stayed for one night in a beach hut in the village, enjoyed the light trail on the Saturday evening and then spent Sunday in the park with a visit to Santa on the seventh of December. It was our first time visiting Gullivers Land and even though the weather was a little miserable we had a brilliant couple of days that our children will always remember. Every member of staff we met was friendly and went above and beyond to make the experience special for the children. A particular mention goes to Mitchell on Dragon Siege who was fantastic. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly. We would happily return.”

“This place was amazing. For the cost I kept wondering what was going to be wrong, but it really was fantastic. The accommodation we stayed at was so warm and cosy, the park was friendly and small ques, plus lots to do for little legs. We met a member of staff called Jonathan, a more mature fella and he was hilarious. Made our day. Really cant recommend this place enough. Land of lights was brilliant too. Can honestly say I wasn't expecting it to be so good.”

“We booked a last minute one night stay and although apprehensive about staying based on the reviews we went for it and we were pleasantly surprised. We had a Jungle Safari Lodge (python number 10). It looked great and we were happy with it, after all we are only staying one night. Double bed could do with a new mattress and bunk beds were solid but again one night only. There were a few kitchen utensils but didn't really look as we weren't eating in the lodge but if you were you'd probably want to keep cooking down to a quick, simple meal and probably take your own stuff so you know you've definitely got it. We booked a table at restaurant but couldn't get in till late (our fault for delaying the booking) cancelled it and found a harvester 1 mile away which was good. Entertainment onsite from 4.30pm seemed good (we didn't do much of it as eating etc). We had breakfast included in our stay and the menu was simple, we opted for a bacon butty. Bacon was excellent quality and the roll was pre cut with no butter, again didn't matter to us, we had a full belly and were grateful for the deal we got. I would visit Adventures village again next year if we got a similar deal. We enjoyed our stay and thought it was great fun.”

“Great fun pool for a family fun visit. Nice slide and some sections which don’t get too busy”

“Don't believe the other poor reviews. We had such a lovely time at the swimming, really friendly and kind staff, lovely pool and great splash pad for little ones. It was our first time visiting and already booked in for a circuits class onondag and another play/swimming session for me and my little one. A Great start to our day! Thank you”

“Had a lovely day with my grandchildren today. Everywhere is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and professional even during very busy times. Plenty of parking with an overflow car park provided across the road.”

“Took my two 4 year old grandsons swimming at Flitwick leisure centre in the under 5's session. The parking us easy, the changing rooms and whole swimming area is exceptionally clean and the two pools available are ideal for the age range. We all had a great time.”

“Awesome place, bar staff excellent, good crowd, would spend most of my time there, if I could”

“First time playing here after 15 years or so after moving out of the area. The course is as good as I can remember. The course has grown up exceptionally well, still love the 4th and 15th, the latter being an absolute monster. Thoroughly enjoyed playing the course, it was definitely worth the trip.”
