点评:I’m glad I had read reviews before heading here. We arrived to get in at 12 on a sunny Wednesday and the queue was about 25 places long, only took 10 mins to wait to get in. Car parking nearby was an issue, I actually think the best idea is to park at Clarke’s village and walk through to the high street. I parked at Southside and we were limited to 3 hours parking, which thankfully was just enough time, but longer would have been better.
Lots of shaded places to set up a picnic blanket, and a few people (myself included) had brought parasols to sit under. Changing rooms were barely being used but they were clean and practical. We took a picnic, so I can’t offer any cafe advice.
The pools and the splash pad were great, lovely temperatures and kids are allowed in both pools. Armbands are allowed in both pools too but only in the shallow half of the deeper pool. No floats or inflatables are allowed in either (aside from armbands). Which I understand from a visibility perspective for the lifeguards to see everyone.
It was crowded, being a hot day. And the plentiful lifeguards had a job stopping people doing things they, well, usually do in pools. Like jump in, or go over the very small wall from one pool to another, or do somersaults underwater… the main issue being how many people were in the pool.
It’s great to see the lifeguards so diligent and watchful (and stressed), but honestly it could all be solved by having a booking system, or a limit on numbers.
We had a great time, the kids absolutely loved it and it’s such a lovely setting. But do the staff a favour and give better control on numbers.
翻译:很庆幸来之前看过评论。我们在一个阳光明媚的周三中午12点到达,排队大约有25个位置,只等了10分钟就进去了。附近的停车位是个问题,我觉得最好的办法是把车停在克拉克村,然后步行到商业街。我把车停在了南区,我们只能停车3个小时,谢天谢地,时间刚好够用,但如果能再长一点就更好了。
这里有很多阴凉的地方可以铺野餐毯,有几个人(包括我自己)还带了遮阳伞。更衣室几乎没人用,但干净实用。我们去野餐了,所以我没法提供任何关于咖啡馆的建议。
泳池和戏水池都很棒,水温适宜,两个泳池都允许儿童使用。两个泳池都允许佩戴臂章,但只能在深水区的浅水区使用。两个泳池都不允许使用浮板或充气玩具(臂章除外)。我从救生员能见度的角度来看,这很能理解。
天气很热,人很多。救生员们也忙着阻止人们做一些他们通常在泳池里做的事情。比如跳水,或者翻过很小的墙从一个泳池跳到另一个泳池,或者在水下翻跟头……主要问题是泳池里有多少人。
看到救生员如此勤奋和警惕(当然也压力很大),真是太好了,但说实话,这些问题都可以通过预约系统或限制人数来解决。
我们玩得很开心,孩子们非常喜欢,而且环境也很棒。不过,请帮工作人员一个忙,更好地控制人数。
