Lost children's paddling pool in Heaton Park was 'an endless place of adventure' for kids
18.09.2022 - 10:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A photograph of a long lost paddling pool has sparked wonderful nostalgic memories from those who remember using it as kids.
The photograph shows families with young children cooling off in the old paddling pool in Heaton Park on what looks to be a bright, summer's day. Located next to the main playground, the pool was a popular attraction for children who would spend hours playing in the shallow water.
Sadly, by the late 1990s, the pool was in a poor state and was eventually filled in by the council. Despite it's poor condition in its later years, many people still have fond memories of the paddling pool from their own childhoods.

When the image was shared on the excellent We Grew Up In Manchester public Facebook group, hundreds of people took to the comments with their memories. While some were of the paddling pool specifically, others spoke of how much the park was "an endless place of adventure" to them as kids.
Carol Don-Merritt said: "[I] remember this very well; lived in Simister village, this was our extended playground. We used to climb on the bandstand and sing, play on the boating lake and go in the hall. Still love the park when I visit the area."
Lou Lou said: "I remember those days! Loved the paddling pool and sailing twigs under the little bridge at the end of it."
Chris Ridge posted: "I remember those days! Went on the train, it was a big day out for us kids from Collyhurst with jam butties and water. Think I can remember highland cattle in a field on way from the station it was late '50s."
