Amazing fun for kids. Also a good walk around the park. It's possible to walk from the canoe lake to the water sports area. Paid secure parking. Tendency to get crowded quite quickly but a brilliant atmosphere with a mix of different cultures. Highly recommended.

Great park to come for a run or do other sport activities. Or just to sunbathe.

Great price, we arrived late and were still able to go on the water. Staff helpful and friendly. I was able to watch the older kids and keep younger ones occupied paddeling in the stream and looking at the ducklings. Lovely way to spend an afternoon. Coffee shop was great as it had a kiosk front so I could order without leaving the dog.

The south lake at Stanborough Park is a great place for open water swimming.
If you register and pay for a 50 minute session on the Better app (currently £7), you can submit your car’s registration plate at the water sports reception to get free parking in the car park. There are small lockers in reception for valuables which are free, free tea and coffee for those who have paid for a session, and the men’s changing rooms were clean with hot showers.
Just before entry to the lake there was a member of staff there to provide information and guidance. The lake itself feels and tasted clean during my visit in September 2022. There was was a 400m buoy marked course with all swimmers asked to swim counter clockwise and a couple of staff members in kayaks for safety and course guidance whilst swimming. They do ask that you wear either a wet suit or tow float, as well as a brightly coloured swimming cap.
The staff and other swimmers were all very friendly. If you’re wondering whether to give the open water swimming a try, don’t hesitate!
I’ll definitely go back before the season comes to an end.

Shocking service by Better UK!! No one answers the phone, app doesn't work. Emails left for a week unreturned... Can't log in or book anything. V frustrating as lots of friends are experiencing same issues
