PSA: Water Warning
The water has been fenced off as a precaution due to a bloom of blue-green algae. Blue-green algae blooms occur naturally in hot sunny weather - you may have noticed them in the canal or other bodies of water. Unfortunately, the algae can be fatal to dogs and toxic to humans. So please be safe by staying out of the water.

Parking
Parking at Ruislip Lido is limited, and we always advise that you plan your journey accordingly.
During peak periods, such as the summer holiday’s and sunny Bank Holiday weekends the Lido gets very busy, and the limited parking spaces fill up quickly.
Note: If you are visiting Ruislip Lido by car and the car parks are full, there are no nearby alternatives to our car park. The surrounding areas of the Lido are largely clearway zones and no-stopping restrictions which are strictly enforced.
