This is the only free, yes free, 25m pool I know of. Deserves to be better used. No lane markings on pool bottom make it difficult to do tumble turns and general maintenance (litter picking, tiles in changing room etc.) could be improved but for £0.00 entry fee any complaints would be churlish. It's a salt water pool with a seperate pool area for young children. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice for walking with amazing views. Great for kids if they learning to ride a bike or scooter as it's flat. There are ping pong tables just by the playground. There is also out door gym. Plenty of parking around. Swimming pool is really good, water is very salty. There is long wait and you might not get in. There was colour band system to let people in. There are toilets and showers available. There is disabled access ♿

Tucked in behind Bogie Nights and beside Mount Wise public swimming pools, this is a popular place for local families, dog walkers and anglers. Beautiful views overlooking Plymouth Sound and the Tamar Estuary. The play park is quite good, and there's a cafe here too.

Lovely to visit,I spent many happy hours here as a child swimming in the pools it's all changed now. The swimming pools have changed, and the paddling pool is no longer there, such happy memories. I think the pools are free in the summer.
