Public pools in Nottingham

“A nice free and clean splash park. See photo for opening times. Near a car park where you can park for free for 3hrs.”

“Went to have a look at the newly refurbished park, fantastic. Excellent base. There is a trampoline set into the ground for smaller children, looks safe, at the far end quite a large play area of San and sand toys. At the opposite end a huge tyre with centre for swinging on, lots to enjoy. Outside the wall are there is a new zip wire but as yet no wire on it. Also now a new fenced goal area.good news for local children, all it needs now is a paddling pool!.”

“Great amenities, viewing area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent swimming areas. Very clean and tidy. Good for wheelchair access. Fantastic gym”

“Fab place for little ones to swim in the learning pool and really lovely helpful staff.”

“A brief note to celebrate my grandson's very first swim with his mum. We would very much like to thank Maddie on Arena Reception, for her first class support and great good service. Maddie's engagement and professionalism helped turn this ordinary event into a special and memorable occassion for us all. A great day and wonderful introduction to swimming. Would recommend Rushcliffe Arena without reservation.”

“I use the leisure centre for swimming sessions and Kickboxing lessons Good facilities, pleasant staff and a friendly atmosphere”

“Looks great as a first impression. A very clean place that includes both an adult and a minor swimming pool,gym and sauna. I became a member and I can't wait to try it out. Update: Great place. Gym and pool available.”

“Nice and clean, friendly staff as well. Pool is nice.”

“I hadn’t been to a gym in years and was a bit worried about going again and not knowing what I was doing. The staff here have all been lovely and incredibly helpful and kind. Kyle took the time to show me how everything worked and set up an app for me to help me plan my workouts during my free new member activation. There are videos to show you how to use the machines correctly if you forget. The app also shows you how many machines are free so you can kind of see how busy it is before you head there. I can’t recommend this place enough. You really do get a lot for your membership fee. The free one day pass is really helpful if you want to just have a look and see what it’s like before committing to a membership, too. Just wish they were open a bit later at the weekend but I understand that people need a break sometimes and the weekend is a good time for the staff to finish earlier.”

“Excellent facilities,latest water treatment in pools. Brilliant team so efficient and polite. Can't fault it.”

“Genuinely an amazing leisure centre, hassle free swimming lessons for kids, i cant believe how my daughter had her first swimming class and didnt know how to swim at 5 years old, we tried as parents to teach her how to swim and she was always so nervous and afraid, in her first swimming session with HENRY she swam on her back! I couldn’t believe how he managed to get a very anxious little girl from swimming to get all that confident to swim unaided on the same session, she had another session the following week and swam again on her back unaided. He’s attentive and gives every child their focused time. My daughter was struggling with her goggles he even picked up on that and took them off and gave them a wipe and carried on. After her first session he came over to have a chat and gave lara the biggest words of encouragement for learning how to swim so quick. She came back home and would not stop talking about her achievements and couldn’t wait to come back. I would honestly recommend this swimming center for any parents, no frills, you’re in and out quickly, they learn so much in a short space of time, i hope this gets passed on to henry, he deserves some sort of recognition for being an incredible teacher, i’ve seen swim coaches in the past whilst i’ve been swimming myself and yet to see someone with that level of attentiveness, assertiveness that children need to focus on their swimming and encouragement they need to thrive in. Thank you for teaching my daughter how to swim on her back in the shortest time and getting her our of her shell!”

“Been coming here for 4 years. I've now built up to 6 classes a week. At 80 years old I've never felt as fit”

“This is my happy place...my safe place. Its not just about exercising and keeping fit in the amazing gym for someone who lives alone and is of mature years its about support friendship and caring for each other. They have an amazing team of staff who have had my back all through the difficult times and have been there for me, if only for a chat and a hug, believe me it makes the world of difference. It is so good for your mental health too. It is a pleasure to be a member here . The staff work hard and have kept us safe all through the pandemic and everywhere is kept clean. Thank you all so much.”

“Been coming to this particular facility for the last 3 - 4 years to use the gym, the choice of equipment is good; from machines to free weights, also some more functional training equipment in the DOSE studio. The equipment in the cardio studio upstairs is a little bit dated, however it's usually pretty easy to get on to whatever you need. People are generally friendly and helpful, and there are a good few regulars that use the gym at the times I'm there (mornings), so it kind of makes it a social experience. It can get a little busy at certain times, for example when the physios are there on Fridays.”

“Fun swimming at a good price, and fantastic little cafe at the entrance. Also decent selection of swimsuits and goggles to buy etc free parking and reasonable changing rooms”

“They have good homemade food here mixed with pub grub I recommend their pie and an under 5s free kids play room full of toys, it's quiet and free it's done me the world of good with my son as we struggle at soft plays, we come every week for lunch now and he loves it xx”

“Main source the building re searching for all the time”

“Broxtowe Springs is a ritual stop—always bring my dogs here for a drink break mid-walk. It’s reliable, refreshing, and part of our loop. The surrounding terrain of Broxtowe Country Park is my go-to haven, whether it’s blazing sun or thick snow. It holds space year-round, offering quiet, movement, and a sense of grounded continuity. The park’s layout is open yet intimate—plenty of room to roam, reflect, and reset. It’s not just a walk; it’s a transmission. Every visit becomes part of the archive, logged in paw prints and presence. If you’re looking for a space that respects rhythm and welcomes return, Broxtowe delivers.”
