Rookery Paddling Pool Streatham Common South, London SW16 3HR

"Nice warm water, plenty of space to sit. However, the floor of the pool was filthy and there was lots of mud in the water. There is a cafe less than a minute away. However, the toilets joined to the cafe are revolting. In need of deep clean, and some care."

"It’s actually quite nice. The problem is the parents who take their children there and leave them unattended. Parents being rude when asked to give back toys that aren’t theirs!! We left the park missing toys. We went searching for them and they were no where to be seen!! Quite big vehicles that we shared with other children were stolen. Really poor childcare from people there. Definitely won’t go back which is a shame"

"Such a shame nobody bothers with it anymore for the children. They've filled it once to my knowledge this year .. it's just been a dirty puddle of water for the last few weeks. Despite it being the summer holidays. No maintenance at all, leaves and debris and dirty water. Such a shame. I understand why everyone goes to Ruskin park and brockwell park fountains now as this isn't maintened at all. Another place for the kids fallen to the wayside. Real shame. Perhaps Lambeth council and their lack of funding for children's places like this should be investigated... Or perhaps they could spend less on pointless road blocks and closures and other ridiculous schemes and channel it in to something worthwhile. - I would just like to add this edit to inform that it has since been cleaned up and filled properly. I popped in yesterday and it was full to the edges and looked relatively cleaner. I guess it is worth checking out but baring in mind it could be either or."
