Park Road Leisure Centre & Lido

Cannot, in good conscience, recommend this place if you are looking for an indoor pool. Poorly run, with the lifeguards doing nothing to encourage people to swim in the lanes that suit their ability. Whilst I was in the pool, a man dove over my head into the water of the shallow end and the lifeguard didn’t do a thing. This was one of many dangerous things and near missus I saw in the 25 mins I was in the pool. The customer service at the front desk is abysmal. I saw them treat people before me terribly and then copped the same attitude when I presented as a walk in. I did this because the website and app are nearly impossible to use. The female changing rooms are clean enough but there’s nowhere to dry your swim suit and it’s nearly impossible to find privacy to change if you wish it. There’s just no door on one of the changing cubicles and the lock is broken on one of the others - these are just the ones I tried to use myself. If you’re looking to go swim some laps Id recommend almost anywhere else in the area.

Stella’s baby swimming classes are amazing! My wife was scared to take the baby so I joined for the first class and we were both quickly reassured by Stella’s professionalism, gentle pacing for the babies and calm presence. My wife says she comes back from the classes feeling more relaxed and my baby is learning life long essential skills with water. Thank you Stella!
