Booked via the Better app for an evening lane swim. At £6.80 this was good value for money. Parking nearby is free after 6pm (you still have to enter your reg and get a ticket) and then a short walk over the bridge to the pool. Male/female changing rooms with toilets, hot indoor showers, and lockers (£1 refundable, get a band for the locker key from reception). It was the end of a long, hot day so the changing rooms were a bit dirty/smelly, but I could forgive this as the pool was an absolute dream. Heated to around 28°, immaculately clean, well organised lane swim which wasn't crowded. Pool regulars and staff were friendly too. I'll be stopping off here again - thanks for a relaxing swim in a lush pool 🙏 · via Google [Cheri B](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110241909416690406926/reviews) ★★★★★ An idyllic spot for a picnic and a great place to bring the kids, cheap car parking close by and an outdoor lido situated in the park, fab place to relax and watch the boats sail up the Thames · via Google [Erin Moran](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113108512526825240231/reviews) ★★★★★ Great pool, lovely staff. Great area to sunbath or relax whilst children play. Shallow end is large which is nice for little ones. Very relaxed atmosphere, my favourite outdoor pool. · via Google [Ruth Knight](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112437079185124287069/reviews) ★★★★★ Super but the words changing rooms on the appropriate doors would help, it just looks like you're gf oung to the loo. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4876b89b1333efe3:0x4876b89b1bb3c743!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Abbey Close [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.6697787%2C-1.2767341) **Category** Swimming & Leisure Centres **Guest rating** 4.2 / 5 (110 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 0-12 **Setting** Outdoor **Destination** Abingdon [More attractions in Abingdon](https://staycation.co.uk/abingdon/attractions) ★ 4.2 (110 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.better.org.uk/leisure/abbey-meadows-outdoor-pool?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01235 530678](tel:01235530678) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Abingdon **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C3WMP9F+W8 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4876b89b1333efe3:0x4876b89b1bb3c743!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4876b89b1333efe3:0x4876b89b1bb3c743!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4876b89b1333efe3:0x4876b89b1bb3c743!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Abingdon Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
