Visiting Pools on the Park
Shower closure
The changing village showers will be temporarily closed from Sunday 25 May, and will reopen on Wednesday 28 May, to allow essential flooring maintenance work to take place.
During this period there will be limited shower facilities available. Customers can use the poolside showers (between the main and teaching pools) or the single showers in the changing village toilets.
We encourage swimmers to avoid showering at the centre during this short closure period.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
