Splash Parks & Paddling Pools in Nottingham

If you're after a proper splash about in Nottingham, Spring Lakes Watersports & Leisure is the one on our radar. It's a bit out from the centre, an outdoor cable-lake set-up with an inflatable aqua park, wakeboarding and paddleboarding for older kids, and a beach with shallow paddling for the under-fives. Booking ahead is required, and there's a cafe on site plus free parking, which helps when you're planning a whole morning or afternoon there. It suits a wide age range, from toddlers paddling at the shallow end to teenagers having a go at the aqua park or wakeboarding. Cards only, no cash, and there's an accessible toilet and baby change on site. Dogs are welcome too. It's outdoor only, so this one is very much a fair-weather trip rather than a rainy day filler.
