Pools
Haven’s outdoor pools are closed in October but every park has a heated indoor pool. Many have slides and lots of water-based activities including aqua gliders, water walkerz and aqua jets. Haven’s water confidence and Learn 2 Swim sessions are available in October, helping struggling swimmers get better.
Sports and activities
October gives you the chance to try your hand (or foot) at a new sport, with Haven’s parks offering coaching for archery, fencing and football, with mini versions available for 3 to 5 year olds.
Many parks also have activities such as climbing walls, zip wires, high ropes, crazy golf and craft sessions including Pic N Paint and Sand Art, which are hugely popular.
As the weather turns there are lots of changes in the local landscape, which you can investigate with Haven’s popular Nature Rockz programme (available at 22 parks). Bug safaris, bushcraft, bird box making and nature walks are among the activities offered by park rangers.
On dry days visitors can head to a local golf course, or chip and putt their way around one of the nine-hole golf courses available at several Haven parks (read more here).
Halloween
Half term week (24-31 October) is extra special, with parks putting on Halloween parties with fancy dress, themed activities and spooktacular shows.

During October days, adult activities include a golf simulator and Strictly-style ballroom classes teaching the tango to the cha cha.
Children
Park Resorts’ kids clubs include crazy games, antics, shows and crafts. At parks where children’s clubs are usually available, both the Play club (for 5-12’s) and Play Tots (under 5’s) are on offer in October. Check specific details at your park though, as not all destinations offer the full range of kids clubs.
Pools
As you’d expect in October, outdoor pools are closed, however most Park Resorts sites have indoor pools that stay open for autumn (exceptions are Warden Springs, Weeley Bridge, Manor Park, Barmston Beach, Church Point, Eyemouth, Fallbarrow, Limefitt and Todber Valley).
The pools feature a whole host of activities throughout the day, with everything from Aqua Rollers to Pirate Rafting on the menu.
