Popular outdoor pool returns with heated water, picnic space and party hire

Greenbank Swimming Pool in Street is getting ready to welcome swimmers for the 2025 summer season, reopening on Saturday 3 May.

The outdoor heated pool, located just a short walk from Clarks Village Shopping Centre, is a well-loved spot for families, children and locals looking to cool off or enjoy a swim in the sunshine — or even under the clouds.

The main pool is 30 metres long and heated to 30°C, while the children's pool reaches 32°C, providing a comfortable swimming experience in almost any weather.

Set in the Somerset countryside, Greenbank Pool also includes a large grassed area with space for picnics and relaxing. Shady spots are available under the surrounding trees. While the pool doesn't supply sun loungers, visitors are welcome to bring their own.
