Free Fun On A Fine Day - Ruislip Lido

 At Ruislip Lido.

The main entrance from the street, Reservoir Road.

Panels tell you about the birds, and the history of the lido and area.

Steps down to the waterside.

Here come the green headed ducks and other water birds.

Close up of the water birds.

Walking around the lido, level, fine for pushchairs, bikes, children, the elderly.

Guide to the bird life.

At the far side, a stile to a path amidst the trees.

We walked anti-clockwise around the water towards the sand, reminising about our past trips here. I remembed how our son had though that the sand was sugar and tried to eat a mouthful of it. He quickly spat it out in disgust.

Continuing clockwise, you reach the sandy beach, busy with families and delighted children. A feature for play is the large mock pirate ship.

Another area with water play showers.

In summer a small train runs around beyond the beach area. Beside the beach at the back are a cafe and toilets.

If you want more food and drink, you have the WatersEdge on the same street, visible from the park entrance.\

Back on the main road is the Majestic Warehouse. They stock a vast range of wines, as well as soem unusual nuts and crisps.
