Ward Freman Pool

Ward Freman Pool is a swimming pool in Buntingford that serves as a local place for exercise, lessons and family visits. On Bowling Green Lane, it gives the town a pool of its own rather than sending swimmers further afield, which is part of why it matters to regular users. The pool is family-friendly and wheelchair accessible, and it comes across as a place where people go for proper swimming rather than a grand leisure complex. Customer comments point to friendly, helpful staff and a welcoming atmosphere among swimmers, with some making a return after years away from the water. It is also noted as a useful option for parents, with the chance to swim while a child is occupied nearby. A couple of visitors mention that the water can feel cool, so it may suit those who are happy to dive straight in. If you are planning a visit, it is worth checking the current situation before setting off, as the pool has been the subject of concerns about future funding.
