Visited with Landie Man & Special K



Part of Leisure World in Hemel Hempstead, this leisure pool was a hub for the locals to enjoy themselves with the
family and friends, popular for it's flumes and rapids, my favourite was the space bowl. I last visited in 2011/2012
with a friend and although we had a great laugh, it was grimy.
It seems the online reviews confirm that what I experienced wasn't a one off... 'A child's death waiting to happen'...
probably not the ideal results when searching for a business name on a popular search engine!

Unfortunately, now it is gone, there is nothing comparable nearby. Plans for the site seem to vary depending who
you listen to. We had a friendly chat with the police (hi if you're reading this :)) and on site security who told us
that the property is now owned by Tesco Pensions.

Unfortuantely we were restricted to a night time visit as the demolition is progressing quickly and the workers are on site late.

Ha ha, that man pool space is amazing! Definitely something different!
Brilliant! Cheers for sharing! :)
 
You're a very naughty boy! That mini-digger has it's lights on so you must have been in there whilst they were working! It's explorers like you who get us a bad name (and get us loads and loads and loads of lovely, meaty shots... *panting...

Great stuff, I love it! :)
 
TeeJF, I'm pretty sure that's my torch light on the reflectors! :)
I just realised how light it looks outside in that photo, that was probably a 30 second exposure lol. Pitch black!

Nice one MrDan, i like these shots. Very different from the norm. Top work
 
Nice work, unfortunately, looking at those diggers I suspect it will be gone before I get the chance to get down there!

That shot in the slide made me laugh, I'm 'that' person that would slip and plummet to the bottom of the empty pool.
 
Hey guys

Sorry to resurect a thread, I last visited DP a few years ago and have given up exploring and was looking up some info about the status of a local building and came across this thread.

I thought 'It can't be the same Aqua Splash...' but I went here on numerous occasions around 1999/2000 time, so 15 years ago, it's quite shocking to see it all being pulled down and thinking, i've stood there, i've been down that slide etc etc. I can't actually believe it was 15 years ago I last went to this place, how time flys.

Signs I'm getting old....and i'm not even that old, lol.

Just my thoughts, thanks for reading.
