Public pools & Water park in Mansfield

“We have tried a few different places for swim lessons for my 4 year old son, who can become overwhelmed in noisy group environments. He can struggle sometimes with staying on task too. This place is perfect, everyone is so welcoming and professional. Every minute of the lesson is focused on the child and the lesson is adapted as required to keep it fun and interesting. My son has been taught by Debbie and Janet, both are so patient and nurturing. It’s clear to see they really enjoy what they do. My son is loving his lessons now and his confidence is growing every week. Thank you so much to all at swim 121 :)”

“Our 1 year old and 4 year old loved this - I'm 39 and loved it to. It can be a bit daunting for the little ones when lively teenagers bounce past, but pick a quiet day/time and you'll be fine.”

“We had such a great day here! tons of exciting slides as well as a fun obstacle course. What really made it special was the paddle boarding! Right next to the water park where you can rent paddle boards. It was the perfect way to wind down after all the water park excitement. The water was calm, the scenery was peaceful, and it was such a fun activity for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. Only “downside” is if you don’t have a car it’s a 40 minute walk from the nearest bus stop but if you enjoy walking it should be no problem! It’s rare to find a place that combines both high-energy water park fun with something more relaxing like paddle boarding — we loved both and would definitely come back. Highly recommended for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a full day of water activities!”

“A beautiful little hidden gem with friendly staff. The play area caters more for those 12 and under was clean and in good condition. The toilets were almost immaculate which is a rare thing for any place with lots of families visiting. The train ride although short has plenty of things to look out for as it winds it way across the Feilds. If you are near it is definitely worth a visit. I went with two teenagers and still managed to spend a good couple of hours there. As for food check the website for the menu and prices as it may not to everyone's taste BUT if you like a good traditional English breakfast you will NOT be disappointed. We will definitely be planning a return visit.”

“A fantastic campsite right in the middle of sherwood forest. Very clean facilities, well kept and organised. A nice park for kids to use and plenty of space for them to run aroundand play. Can bike or walk straight into the woods. Just under 10 minute drive to the major oak. Would definitely recommend.”

“The country park is beautiful. Sadly the cafe is unbelievably banal and lacking in healthy & tasty food, plus closes early whilst the park is still active which is a massive missed opportunity, but maybe one day we can have both! All the nature on and around the water is really wonderful.”

“Sherwood Forest is a well-preserved and accessible destination, suitable for visitors of all ages. Throughout the forest, there are comfortable sitting areas, along with a wealth of fascinating information about trees, animals, and nature conservation efforts.”

“Lovely place, nice walk, and smooth paths for Granddaughter to roller skate. Food van cobs excellent, Sausage, and Ham, reasonable prices !”

“Love walking at Poulter. Loads of paths to choose from and some beautiful views. Usually really quiet and so peaceful”

“Family and pet friendly park with ample parking and many nature trails to enjoy. Don’t miss visiting the Geese and ducks up close!”

“Visited with our 2 children (5 and 8) and did 1 night Eat, Sleep and Play which was excellent value. We had a great couple of days and the Pixie Pod was absolutely brilliant. The rides were perfect for the children’s ages. Husband and eldest child paid extra for Archery in the morning which they really enjoyed. The instructor was really friendly and would definitely recommend taking part in this if you can. Would have liked a little longer for check out as it was a bit of a rush to have breakfast, checkout and get to the archery for 9am but but we managed it. (Check out was 10 but would have crossed over with the archery so had to do it early) Would definitely return whilst the children are still young!”

“Absolute fabulous place it’s always clean and tidy the staff are super friendly, it’s fantastic to still have a squash court locally for the community! Could not recommend enough!”

“A wonderful green space in Mansfield. Immaculately kept. A popular cafe next to the Boules clubhouse The thriving boules club is amazing. Wonderful friendly group who are happy to include new comers With six terrains where they play in league games and competitions are very good. Long may it last. IThank you all for making my brother and me so welcome”

“Held my parties and burlesque shows here, lovely venue to hire, 2 lots of toilets, food is lovely on the days they do food. However cobs can be found behind the bar or requested on days the kitchen is closed. Sunday dinners are really nice. Regulars are friendly, manager is nice and helpful. Look forward to the next shows an parties.”

“We stopped into William IV for a few drinks when in Mansfield for the weekend. Really warm and welcoming atmosphere when we went in..Cheryl who served us was very friendly as we're Matt and Recbecca (Landlords). Very reasonably priced with great selection of drinks. They had a great live singer on too which was a bonus. Would definitely recommend.”

“Great pub. Not quite the walkers pub it used to be. A bit more up market now but very good”

“Lovely place to take the dogs a walk and let them have some freedom”

“Staff are always helpful and friendly, a great place for water sports”

“What a great business this is! Could not of asked for a more helpful person than in Mark. Sound and honest advice given on hot tub care in the simplest form to a newbie hot tub owner. More than happy to accommodate if you have any problems or just need repetitive advice. Will certainly be returning for my chemicals and accessories. Thanks guys!”

“Amazing fun! Great staff and support, can't wait to go again!”

“Lovely linear walk into welbeck park/ deer park. Park at church.”

“Really great team. Patient will my little boy. Only been going a few weeks but all going well.”
