Despite committing to open the lido fully during daylight hours, Haringey Council is still closing the lido at 17:30 on weekdays, citing a shortage of staff.
But we have managed to get an additional half hour in the mornings — the lido is officially opening at 07:00 Monday to Friday and is open 08:00–16:00 at the weekend.
You must be booked in to swim at the lido.
The centre strongly recommends booking in advance via Haringey’s Park Road Leisure Centre website (select Book activity) or Active Wellbeing apps — available for both Apple and Android phones.
Walk-ins: even if all online slots have sold out, it may be possible to turn up at the centre and be booked in at reception for the current session — staff will check whether there’s space in the pool.
The current lido timetable is shown below; times are session start times. The blue boxes show when the lido is open and the booking capacity for each slot.
