The pool has benefitted from a much-needed upgrade, including non-slip surfaces, improved pool surrounds, jets and fountains with free-standing shades, and benches around the outside for parents, creating a cleaner, safer environment for families to enjoy.

The refurbishment has been beset by some unforeseen delays with materials and parts, but the Council is pleased to confirm that the pool will be open at the start of the summer holidays for families to enjoy and will remain open until September.

Councillor Will Roberts, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhood said:

“We really appreciate people’s patience as we’ve worked to get the pool ready and open for the summer holidays. It’s fantastic to be able to provide this fun, free, family friendly facility in the centre of Leamington, and look forward to welcoming you all this coming Saturday.”

If visiting by car, parking for Victoria Park is available at:

• Adelaide Bridge car park (CV32 5AH)
• St. Peters multi storey car park (CV32 5EL)
• Station Approach car park (CV31 3SA)

Due to the more complex nature of the construction of the St Nicholas Park paddling pool and ongoing challenges with onsite water levels, this facility will take a little longer to complete. The Council’s teams are working hard to resolve these issues, and further updates will be shared over the coming weeks.
