Hinksey Outdoor Pool reopens for summer
The summer season starts now as Hinksey Outdoor Heated Pool reopens!
We're very pleased that the city's favourite lido has reopened following the installation of a heat pump from Hinksey lake and essential repairs completed.
The new heating system is part of a decarbonisation programme that has reduced the carbon emissions from some of our public leisure centres by 21%.
To book, check opening times or sign up for a membership please head over to Fusion Lifestyle's website using the button below.
We're looking forward to a sunny swim sometime soon!

Oxford needs homes and we're delivering
Work at the former Lucy Faithful House development is coming along really well.
Oxford City Housing Ltd (OCHL) and developers Willmott Dixon started the groundwork on the £10.9m project last September and look how far they've got.
The new homes will be in a single block of four to six storeys, made up of 8 one-bed flats, 17 two-bed flats and one three-bed flat.
The 36 flats will include 15 council homes let at social rent, three homes at affordable rent and eight homes sold on a shared ownership basis. The remaining 10 flats will be for market sale.
