The facility, managed by Everyone Active on behalf of Watford Borough Council, saw the replacement of the recirculation water tanks over winter. This will increase the hygiene and efficiency of this facility as well as making improvements that will reduce water consumption. The long-term goal is to reduce maintenance needs when it is open and to uphold its status as a top-class facility.
Last season alone, the pools welcomed over 50,000 visits from across the town and beyond, highlighting its appeal as a top family destination.
Nestled within 190 acres of beautiful parkland, the Cassiobury Park Paddling Pools boast three splashpads, exciting water jets, and fountains for children to enjoy during the warmer months. It also includes two splash pools that allow children to control the water flow, creating an interactive and playful environment. Changing rooms and toilet facilities are conveniently located nearby.

The paddling pools remain completely free of charge, offering a perfect stepping stone for younger children discovering swimming and water play, all in a safe and family-friendly setting. While access is free, donations are warmly encouraged to help maintain and continue this much-valued community service for future seasons: www.watford.gov.uk/donate-splash-pools
The council reserves the right to close the facility if the temperature is 15°C or below, to ensure visitor comfort and safety. For more information on how to visit Watford’s parks safely and their facilities, please visit www.watford.gov.uk/parks
