The 30 Best Public pools & Water park in Rotherham

“Great few hours out for kids and big kids too. Cafes ok, pizzas quite decent. Good range of snacks and I like the coffee. Big space for play. Little lad enjoyed hide and swek”

“Recently became a member. Staff are polite, it's always clean. Just make sure you book for a place before turning up for a swim, as it's normally fully booked if you just turn up.”

“Absolutely a brilliant place enjoyed my time there”

“Susan is the most passionate and enthusiastic swim teacher you could wish for. We have loved going every week since our little boy was 16 weeks old and he now gets so excited for his lessons each week. She puts so much effort into making each week a different theme and the lessons are always great fun whilst also teaching really important swimming and water safety skills. The pool is always lovely and warm so babies don't get cold unlike at the public pools. You couldn't wish for a better place for your little one to learn to swim.”

“Can't fault this company. They take good care of you from the very start to the very end of your journey. Everyone is very friendly, and do everything to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. The hotels are also excellent, and our driver Bob was absolutely brilliant, especially negotiating some very tricky roads and situations in Cornwall! Had every confidence in him.”

“My son and I took part in a try dive session. The experience was amazing and we both loved it. All the club members were really helpful and friendly and put us at ease. They looked after us really well. Great kit available and excellent facilities. Would recommend and hopefully we'll be able to do some more diving in the future.”

“First time I've ever been very nice place and very friendly cheap beer as well”

“Fantastic little real ale tap room. Always an amazing selection of reasonably priced ales on offer. A proper oasis. Pay it a visit. You won't be disappointed. Very welcoming.”

“We visited yesterday for some pre match drinks.Great atmosphere and warm welcome.Just a 10 minute walk to the ground.Good food options and prices were very good (cheese burger & chips £5) Best pint of John smiths I’ve had in a long time.Even though it was rammed full with our fans (Wrexham),service was good even though they were short staffed due to 2 or 3 not turning up for work. Highly recommend for away fans of other clubs”

“Stayed here camping twice so far and looking forward to my third next weekend for Soul & Ska. Last weekend was Steel City cruisers. Lovely clean site especially the toilets. All staff friendly and polite. Sarah was our favourite. Always there to help and answer any questions we had. Helped us book a table for our next weekend. Great bar and prices for both food and drink especially when happy hour is on lol. As I said before, looking forward to Soul & Ska. Can’t recommend Hooton Lodge enough.”

“Great place for a walk. Parking, lovely lake, cafe, and toilet. Lots of wildlife too.”

“It was amazing day out with the kids, I recommend it to everyone. Also contains big water splash area”

“Thank you for making us feel so welcome. Cracking venue, good food, great service and so close to Clifton Park for The Reytons”

“Its always a pleasant place to go. Very clean, and toilets are well maintained, All Staff are lovely and friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere and they have some brilliant Entertainment on at the weekends”

“Be prepared if you are walking dogs. Poo bins are in the car park so, you will need to carry those bags for a while.”

“We went to Ulley Country Park today, it rained slightly on and off but it was still very warm. The wildlife was fascinating, despite the weather making it seem hopeless. Today we saw Northern Lapwings and Chinese Geese (I believe) for the first time, alongside several kestrels (three of which got fairly close), moorhens, coots, great crested grebes, mallards, swans, greylag geese, canada geese, a little egret, what we believed was a gadwall and a potential terrapin on the edge of the water. We didn’t see a heron on this occasion, but we most likely will on our next visit. The parking closed a bit earlier than we planned to stay due to us arriving after the school run, but we ended up finding a near enough parking spot. The trail around was slightly difficult due to the trail moving away from the reservoir at one point due to private land, but we managed to see it all by going a different way to get to the other side. Overall, this is a great place for birdwatching or just an overall walk in nature.”

“It's been many years since I visited the park, greatly improved. The grounds were very well kept, gorgeous autumn colours. The museum was very good with very knowledgeable guides Really enjoyed it”

“Fun local social club entertaining the locals with love music every weekend. Deals on at the bar for members, always a good welcome”

“Have a laugh and a dance everytime we go, we always try get in a couple of times a year with staff, love the chairman always have a joke with him, game of good old bingo. good old checks, we love it”

“Great place lovely staff grandson has lessons .. I started lessons 5 week ago to Improve crawl I could only do 4 x25 metres now 50 and feeling better overall”

“I tried circuits last night with Chris Whitty. It’s a fab class, very welcoming and no pressure to complete all the exercises! I’ll definitely be making this a regular class!!”

“Nice little park. They had some hula hoops and connect four outside which the kids loved. Would visit again”

“Had a lovely family walk around the lake at Thrybergh Country Park. The sunny yet Autumnal weather was glorious and the lake was so clear, it was really impressive. The flat and level path around the lake was a nice steady walk and on a Saturday afternoon didn't seem too busy with dog walkers and joggers. Approximately 50% of the path around the lake is relatively new tarmac, with the rest compacted material with a few puddles, but nothing difficult to navigate. The small playground entertained my kids for about half an hour and me and my wife enjoyed a great and competitively priced coffee from the cafe to enjoy on the benches nearby. I was thoroughly impressed with how free from litter the whole county park was. It was noticeably clean and tidy, so the park rangers are clearly doing a fantastic job.”

“Our 1st time here for lunch & it won't be our last.The pub is clean & Chloe who served us was so welcoming & friendly.Our meals were spot on....tasty & filling.We are looking forward to returning!”

“Membership options are great and recommended if you plan to use regularly. The gym is not often full and there are gym classes to book on the app. The pool is clean and well maintained. My only issue is that the water is normally quite cold.”

“We came on a Sunday afternoon and with the kids and had a fab time the attendants were really helpful and polite really fair priced and loads to do for the family highly recommended”

“Very nice place to take your dog for a walk”

“An absolutely epic place for kids and adults alike! So interactive and interesting it kept us all entertained for hours. I loved the set up representing the 4 elements earth, wind, fire and water plus I found the big melt interesting (a little jumpy for my 2 year old). The outside park was huge and if we lived closer we would be there all the time! They had standard play area equipment but standpits I couldn't get my 2 year old out of and a water park I couldn't get my 5 year old out of! 100% recommend and we will be going back!”

“Very good place to eat. My kids love the wacky warehouse”
