Great place, bring water toys! I highly recommend arriving 20-30 min before your session time and queue to avoid disappointment. If the pool reaches the capacity of 140 people you will be sent away or have an option of waiting until spaces become available. Please bring back the booking system!

I am very disappointed with the new rules. Why did you remove the booking system? We arrived with our children at 10am, but we were unable to get into the pool because there was no space available. We travel around 40 minutes each way, so it is very frustrating to waste time and money not knowing whether we will even be able to enter. The booking system was much more convenient for families with children, as we could plan our day and be sure we had a place. The current system only causes stress and disappointment. I hope you will reconsider bringing the booking system back.

If queuing for hours in blazing hot sun with no chance of your kids getting in is your kind of fun this place is for you pre queuing essential even though there's a big sign saying not to. Needs an in and out gate with an hours limit to give all the kids a chance

First visit. Struggled to find it from Google maps. just follow the brown leasure signs. It’s a lovely paddling pool for kids. Free entry with free parking next to it. Safe enclosed premises with toilet facilities available. Lots of seating around the pool for adults or sit on the grass bank for a picnic. 100% recommended

All you have to do is book online via congleton town council and you get a 3 hour slot. It's about 60' in diameter and at its deepest it's just under knee deep to an adult, it's clean and safe for the kids. Best part, it's free. There are no refreshments on site, you can bring your own though. The only amenities on site are a toilet and some bins and 7 benches, there is space to lay out a towel and lounge in the sun though.
