The 30 Best Public pools & Water park in Sheffield

“Helpful and professional staff teaching my girls to swim. They have a fantastic approach and would recommend the lessons to all little learners.”

“What an absolutely amazing place Swim 4 Paws is and made all the more special with the care and attention from Alison and Nigel who go above and beyond to make it a great experience. Our 3 Spaniels love every minute and its packed full of fun and chaos. Whoever said you can't tire a spaniel out is wrong haha.”

“Absolutely stunning place. Lovely staff, good food and coffee.”

“Our boys have been going for about a year. Ashleigh does a great job in developing their swimming skills. The place is always spotless, the classes are small and the prices are good. Highly recommended!”

“Nice one, specially the children playing area.”

“We had our daughter's party with the inflatables in the big pool and it was great. The communication through the booking process and then the organisation on the day was faultless. We had two with different allergies and the catering staff were brilliant, would really recommend for a fun party idea, the team really look after everything and our daughter and her friends loved it!”

“Two guys came to deliver and install my hot tub - what a stress free event it was. There was a moment when I thought there wasn't going to be enough room to get the tub through, but the guys sorted it out without drama. 100% recommend - top class service, they handle everything - i just stood there and watched them!”

“Nice walk around the well maintained park, cafe on site with a play park for the little ones. Parking at the bottom of the hill to walk through the gardens is free ans has ample spaces and there is also a mini golf course on site. Toilets could do with cleaning more regularly but at least they're there!”

“Really nice park to go and relax look about have some chill time! Tennis facilities if you are into this but an amazing park with ducks to feed in the pond!! Sheffield’s Central Park!”

“This is a really nice place for a walk and plenty places to stop and have a rest also! Really nice area of Sheffield if you need to go collect your thoughts get a coffee and go there!!”

“As ever...... excellent! A hidden gem - lovely river (the Don), a fantastic viaduct, lovely views across the fields. Feeding the duck and other birds, so relaxing.”

“Beautiful place! Very easy walk. All dogs should be on leads but quite a few people were not following this rule.”

“Very nice visit despite a little drizzle. Woodlands, a lake walk, more formal gardens. Very pretty and quiet apart from birdsong. Clean toilets, cafe with breakfast and lunch menus, hot and cold food and drink, small museum and room with information about the family, shop.”

“Great walk along the river and back. Beware of the mud and very rocky paths. We were told it was a good walk for kids and buggys. It's definitely not. But lots of river views, wildlife, mini waterfalls, spooky train tunnels to walk through.”

“Some of the finest woodland walks in Sheffield (and there are many to choose from!) Visit the Shepherds Wheel for a look back at what made Sheffield a fantastic place to live.”

“We have just returned from a two night stay in our caravan at this absolutely amazing site. If you’re looking for somewhere to relax this is the place, we setup in the paddock positioned in front of the pods, absolutely stunning views on the sunset and sunrise. Toilets and other facilities throughout the site are absolutely amazing, one of the best I’ve visited over the years and added bonus it’s only 15 minutes from our home. From the initial contact the team made us feel very welcome, special thanks to Alison ☺️ We were also pleasantly surprised during a walk around the lakes on the evening with all the stag statues with lighting etc The sites dog friendly too. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet relaxing weekend away without the children and a spot of fishing.”

“We visited here on a beautiful early April afternoon during the school holidays and were amazed at lovely and peaceful the park was. There were plenty of benches around to sit and absorb the oh so lovely surroundings, it is a truly tranquil place and obviously well cared for. There is a great cafe selling a variety of superb food and great coffee too. Facilities wise there are loos and plenty of car parking. All in all the park is one of Sheffield's gems. Well worth a visit. We LOVED it and will be back.”

“This is a site well maintained by volunteers and is an impressive Monument to the industrial revolution . Check the website and plan a visit on a day when it is in action. Quite something”

“A lovely day out . We had spent the weekend in Matlock Bath. A truly lovely place to visit. The tramway village is only approximately 6miles away. It's like stepping back in time . Along with many trams on display, there are some you travel on along a track. An old fashioned sweetshop and pub . There's a cafe serving food . Sadly the country walk got to by the tram was closed due to the bad weather. Tickets are valid for 12 months so hopefully will go back in the summer months”

“Just so peaceful . Loads of stunning walks in every direction and amazing views.”

“Started to explore our local area . Our 1st visit we were greeted by Mac . 2 meals and a drink just under £23. Tasty Home made meals. We were very impressed with everything . Service , atmosphere, Even popped back the next week for an afternoon meal . Really glad I found my new local pub which sells home made grub”

“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”

“Went for a wedding of Donna and Michael Great night food was excellent price's of drinks good .staff very friendly all in all great time”

“Lovely meal well presented and tasted gorgeous. Great company and reasonable prices..highly recommended.”

“Friendly staff great activities for the kids especially like the fact it has small world role play rooms - lab, music room, cafe, vets - the vets even has real fish in it and the lab has loads of sensory lights. The soft play itself is smaller than Monkey Bizness but thats a benefit because its easier to find your child. It also has better activities i side like a zip line, a ball-pool and a turfed football pitch that other centres do not have. Food is slightly pricier than a corner shop but not extortionate. Staff are professional really friendly and actively engage with children. I think we would have a good time if we arranged a birthday party. They do activities with y not just food and play. Great afternoon out and great value.”

“We’ve visited this place numerous times, both in the summer and for the Christmas Santa experience, and each time has been nothing short of amazing. The Christmas visit to Santa is a truly magical experience for our little boy—it’s something the whole family looks forward to and enjoys together. There’s always a sense of wonder and excitement that makes it feel special every year. Added touches like the meet and greets with the bears, the magicians, and the fun disco time make it even more memorable. It’s a place where Christmas magic really comes to life, and we always leave with smiles on our faces :)”

“Lovely place, a bit dull at moment given where still in winter mode, A few paths closed ( seem to be water logged 2/2/25 ) not much in way of birds or deer. Great walk around and a few people about , Cafe area is large but the wooden/metal chairs are too heavy.”

“Good community hall with toilets and good kitchen area. Parking on site which is great as on street parking can be limited”

“Still the same giant slide from when I was little and visited here. Nice park and a little cafe including toilets. Car park could be a bit better as not much room for many cars.”

“Here for a works event but what a great hotel indeed! Absolutely fantastic rooms! Clean tidy and very welcoming staff all round! Can’t wait to return with my family when on out travels as we will drop in here for a stay, wonderful layout, great gardens and so easy to get to and find! Highly recommended indeed! Thanks to all the lovely staff.”
