Is there a better childhood memory than tropical wave pools and water slide splash downs sending chlorinated water gushing up your nose?
For years, water parks and swimming pools have been the places where kids have loved to spend their free time. Sadly, over the years, some of our favourite water attractions in-and-around Greater Manchester have closed and been repurposed or demolished.
It was only a couple of generations ago that Mancunians were spoilt-for-choice when it came to having such a place on their doorstep. As well as water parks with their water slides and wave machines, there were also more traditional indoor and outdoor pools that are just as fondly remembered.
