So much to see and do at Warwickshire’s premier waterside attraction! Kingsbury Water Park has 15 lakes situated in over 600 acres of country park. Stroll along the surfaced paths, explore hidden corners, spot birds and wildlife, hire a bike, join an organised event or host your own event. Whatever your idea of a countryside visit is, you will find it at Kingsbury.

Please be aware that visitors must not enter the water at Kingsbury Water Park at any time. This incudes the use of kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and dinghies.

If you’ve been to visit Kingbury Water Park recently, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Please take five minutes to complete our visitor feedback survey.

The information centre is open weekends, bank holidays and in Warwickshire school holidays for information and guidance on your visit.

Parking

Permit holders do not need to buy a ticket from the machine and must clearly display their valid permit inside the vehicle with the end date visible.

Parking charges apply at this country park. Failure to display a valid day ticket or permit may result in a penalty charge notice being issued. Payment is by card only - the ticket machines do not accept cash.

Information on parking permits

Toilets

Toilet facilities available during park opening times. Please note that seasonal variations apply.

We have Changing Places toilet facilities at both the main entrance and at the Broomey Croft entrance. Visitors needing access will need a RADAR key.

Water safety 

Please note that swimming is not permitted anywhere on site due to the risks associated with our lakes and pools. 

The water in the lakes is natural and untreated, and could therefore contain Weil's disease, bacterial infection also known as Leptospirosis that is carried by animals, most commonly in rats and cattle. It can be caught by humans through contact with rat or cattle urine, potentially through water transfer (although the risks are low). 

Accessibility

A mixture of surfaced paths run throughout the park, including some tarmacked routes, suitable for a wide range of access needs. However, please be aware some paths are not tarmacked and may be uneven in places.

More information on accessibility can be found on the Kingsbury Water Park AccessAble site.

Barbecues and fires

To reduce the risk of wildfires and protect our wildlife, we do not permit barbecues and fires. Picnics are welcome.

Countryside Code

Natural England and Natural Resources Wales have updated the Countryside Code advice for countryside visitors. Please read the Countryside Code so we can all enjoy the outdoors responsibly.

Drones

• Hobbyist – We do not authorise hobbyist drone flying in any of our parks or greenways. The reason for this is to protect wildlife including schedule 1 bird species, and ensure a safe experience for all visitors who enjoy our parks. 
• Commercial Operations – A pilot requires permission of the landowner (WCC) to take off and land the drone on their property. We only permit a CAA licensed pilot/company.  Any requests must be in writing to the Parks Manager parks@warwickshire.gov.uk.

Events & activities 

A vast variety of events and activities for all ages take place at Kingsbury Water Park throughout the year, led by our park rangers. These can be booked via the Country Parks Eventbrite page.
