Went on a 35 degrees day and it was packed. You had to wait in the queue to enter, but didn’t need booking. The kids had fun!

Cassiobury Park Splash Pool is a fantastic spot for families with young children. The splash area has three sections, one with water gushers and two shallow pool-style areas where kids can safely splash and play. It's a lovely setting with plenty of space and a relaxed atmosphere. It can get very busy during school holidays and warm days, but the staff are attentive, well organized, and manage the crowd efficiently. The toilets on site are clean and well maintained too. There’s also a great playground and park right next to the splash pool. The only improvement I'd suggest is adding a bit more colour and interactive water features. While the shallow pools and water gushers are enjoyable, a wider variety of water activities would make the splash area even more engaging and exciting for children.

Lovely place to relax and have a picnic while you watch your little one splash about. All fenced in, so completely safe. The water is clean, changing rooms are available and the cafe is just above for that handy coffee every mother needs. Perfect for wheelchair users, you can have just as much fun, toilets next to the splash park. All this and completely free. Perfect for pushchairs, weekends and very hot days gets busy so always try and book on these days

It's a great day out park pool 🎱 😎 for kids. On a sunny day, kids love ❤️ it. There are two large pools and many fountains inside, which emerge randomly, and they are fun to play with. The park pool is covered by bushes and shrubs that make the park pool private. It's also protected by a gate so people can enter it in a controlled way. There are a lot of seating 💺 😳 areas with sheds and tables. On a busy day, the gate is controlled by the guard to manage the crowds. There are toilets 🚻 facilities in and around the park pool. Highly recommended for a family with kids.
