shaznay Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 last time I went to rivelin paddling pools were there but in a sorry state of disrepair, It was sad seeing them in that state after the many hours we spent playing in them in the sixties, mind you thats about 20 years ago since I last went so maybe theyve been resurrected.

hillsbro Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The paddling pools at Rivelin were fully refurbished a year or so ago, and should be OK this summer despite a setback last June - see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/content/image_galleries/flooding_june_2007_gallery.shtml?32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 We used to spend most of our days out at Millhouses Lido loved it there. Other favourites were Forge Dam and Burbage, very occasionally we went to Castleton as a special treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenowls Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I remember the firth park play scheme its a shame they didnt do it for our kids as it was free to join and you stayed all day to play and they would take you on the occassional day trip which didnt cost alot it was fun for us all!
