For members with young children, I thought it would be great to share with you my top picks for keeping the family entertained. Please share your local top picks at svpoa@yahoo.co.uk for inclusion in the next issue!
Streatham Common Paddling Pool Many of you will be aware of the children’s paddling pool by the Rookery Cafe at the top of Streatham Common. This year the team pulled out all of the stops to open early in time for the half term. It looks fantastic with its fresh coat of paint and new planters. The pool is open daily from Thursdays through to Tuesdays, from 10am to 6pm. The pool is CLOSED on Wednesdays, for cleaning and maintenance.
Tooting Bec Lido the UK’s largest freshwater outdoor pool at 91m in length is heaven on a hot day. The water temperature reached 22°C last week! Find out more and book: https://www.placesleisure.org/centres/tooting-bec-lido/
Free Tennis lessons for all ages. Our fantastic tennis courts in Streatham Vale Park are in full swing! Did you know you can book a FREE hour of fun lessons every Sunday of the tennis season. Its a great way to keep active, whilst enjoying the outdoors and meeting new people. Find out more and book: https://www.lta.org.uk/play/free-park-tennis/
Ice Skating at Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre, is my go to back up option on rainy days, but also an amazing way to escape the sun and cool off! Find out more and book: https://active.lambeth.gov.uk/locations/streatham/
