Council issues update on Wolverhampton's free outdoor swimming pool ahead of summer

City of Wolverhampton Council has issued an update on the popular Tettenhall Pool ahead of summer.

Based in lush Tettenhall Green, there's free parking at the pool as well as plenty of space for picnics.

The pool is popular during the summer months to cool off.

The council has issued an update on the pool today (Monday 27 April) ahead of its reopening.

The council reminds the public that Tettenhall Pool is still closed due to “safety reasons” as “water treatment and testing is taking place”.

The council posted the message on X, accompanied with a video showing the pool being filled up.

It said that once the works are complete it will be able to announce when the pool will be back open.

The council posted on X: “Tettenhall Pool is filling up. However, people are reminded that, for safety reasons, the pool is NOT in use during this time as water treatment and testing is taking place.

“Once this is complete, we’ll be able to announce when the pool will be open to the public.

“Due to the pool filling, Stockwell Road is temporarily closed at its junction with Wergs Road/The Rock from today (27) to May 1.

“Diversion: A41 Wergs Road, Danescourt Road, Stockwell Road and vice versa.”

Tettenhall Pool is located on Wergs Road, Tettenhall, Wolverhampton WV6 9AY.

It takes around 40 minutes to get to Tettenhall Pool from Birmingham, traffic permitting, via the M6 and you can park there for free.
