Cassiobury Park Pools

If you’ve got a toddler who loses their mind over water, this spot in Cassiobury Park is worth knowing about. The splash pools are fenced off, which makes a real difference when you’re trying to relax for five minutes without chasing someone into a fountain. There’s shaded seating nearby, picnic tables, and the toilets are actually decent — all the basics covered. The park itself backs onto woodland trails, so older kids or adults can stretch their legs while little ones wear themselves out in the water. Best of all, it’s free, which around here feels almost too good to be true.
