Hi, it would be good if it were, but in 20 years I've never seen it filled with water.

As Michael has said, the best local alternative is Sydenham Wells Park , which doesn't have a pool but a really good water feature on from about 11am in the mornings which meets all health and safety issues about unsupervised pools etc.

I've heard Brockwell Lido is good, I don't know about Ruskin but will check it out.

You could always buy one then invite your childrens friends around!
