Ruislip Lido is easily accessible by cycling via accesses on Reservoir Road. The road network surrounding the Lido is a combination of off road routes and quieter residential roads. There are some busier roads around the Lido but routes are available that limit the amount of riding on these.

Please supervise and keep a safe eye on children at the lido and agree a recognisable meeting point with them in case they get lost, such as the cafe or Woodland Centre.
Busy beaches can disorientate people especially children which is why we have implemented a wristband scheme for younger children. You write your contact number on the wristband and the child wears it which makes it easier to reunite them with you should they get lost. You can pick up a free wristband from the kiosk, cafe, lido train station and from staff.
Dogs are welcome but please follow the rules below:
Dog control orders are applicable at Ruislip Lido and in the woods.
BBQs and fires are not allowed anywhere at the Lido or surrounding woods.
Boating and swimming is not allowed in the lake; there are no lifeguards on site and anyone that enters the water is doing so at their own risk.
The use of hover boards and motorised scooters are not permitted within the Lido.
