Sandford Parks Lido is one of the largest outdoor swimming pools in the UK, set in landscaped gardens in Cheltenham, England. The Lido consists of a 50-metre main pool a children's pool, and paddling pool. All the pools are heated to over 70°F.
Historic outdoor pools are like gold dust and Sandford Parks Lido is a real gem. Whether you're cooling off in the summer sun, taking the kids for their first swimming lessons or just enjoying the history of the site, the restored Lido will benefit everyone in and around Cheltenham. — Nerys Watts, Heritage Lottery Fund Manager in the South West, 2006.
On 1 April 1996 a charitable trust, Sandford Lido Limited, took over operational control of Sandford Parks Lido signing a 25-year lease with Cheltenham Borough Council and is open to the general public from May to the end of September each year.
