We have some brilliant paddling pools, splash pads and lidos right on the doorstep in Stourbridge, Stourport on Severn, Sandwell, Walsall, Kidderminster, Willenhall, Stratford upon Avon and Droitwich. What’s more, many of these great facilities are free to visit.
Set in beautiful parkland, they also tend to have nearby playgrounds, skate parks, walks, sports pitches and even cafes, snack bars and ice cream vans too. Generally open on weekends from May half term and then every day during the summer holidays through to September, it’s best to check on social media for any closure notices due to bad weather, cleaning or maintenance.
