Thank you to the Vale of White Horse District Council (VWHDC) for this press release.
The Abbey Meadow outdoor pool will open before the school summer holidays on Saturday, July 22nd. The pool will be open daily alongside the park splash pad until the start of September.
The kiosk, which is already open, has new and improved furniture.
Vale of White Horse District Council, which owns the site, agreed in 2021 with its leisure contractor GLL that the pool would open for a six-week season over the summer, the busiest time of year.
Cllr Debra Dewhurst, Cabinet Member for Leisure Centres and Community Buildings at Vale of White Horse District Council, said: “The pool is popular during the school holidays, but it is costly to run, and we have to balance this with the vital services we manage in the Vale.
We continue to look into ways in which we can save energy and running costs.”
Bookings for the pool will open for members and season ticket holders 7 days before the pool opens and 5 days before for non-members. It is advised that visitors book before they arrive via the Better UK app or website.
