Banbury’s Woodgreen outdoor swimming pool reopening May 18

Woodgreen outdoor pool in Banbury, a 50-metre open-air facility, will reopen for the summer from Monday, May 18, following a series of improvements.

Upgrades include refurbished flooring in the aqua splash area and new, more durable tiles around the pool.

These follow last year’s improvements to showers, toilets, and changing rooms.

Councillor Rob Pattenden, Portfolio Holder for Healthy Communities, said: “We’re really pleased to be welcoming the people of Banbury and beyond for another outdoor swimming season, with further upgrades to our Woodgreen pool now complete.

“We continue to invest in Woodgreen, not only because swimming is such a great way to improve your health and fitness, but because a facility like this has such an important role in bringing friends, families and communities together over summer.”

The Banbury Triathlon will begin the new season with their annual event, taking place on Sunday, May 17.

Facilities at the pool include a flume, an interactive aqua splash zone for toddlers, and a snack bar.

The pool is operated by Legacy Leisure on behalf of Cherwell District Council, with financial contributions from Banbury Town Council.
