Peak Season Swimming Times

Dear Oakdene Forest Park Ambassadors,

With the busy peak summer holiday season now upon us, we have made some changes to our swimming pool opening times to give everyone a fair and equal opportunity to access our fantastic pool facilities.

During the school holidays and the peak season, our lifeguards will admit entry via a band system, and you will be able to enjoy a one-hour swimming slot.

You will have access to either the indoor or outdoor pool, but you will not be allowed to go between both.

You cannot book or reserve bands. Please turn up at the time of the session with your Park Pass and you will be given a band.

If you arrive mid-way through a session and there are bands left, you will be allowed in, but your session will still be over at the same time as the session ends.
