An indoor swimming bath was opened at North Road School in the latter part of 1962
for the use of the pupils. Sampling of the water produced satisfactory results during 1963.
Paddling Pool
A paddling pool for young children is available in Cranleigh Gardens Play Park. The
capacity of the pool is approximately 15,500 gallons with depth from 1½ inches to 9 inches.
The water of the pool is free-running and is treated by continuous chlorination for hygiene
purposes. Like the swimming bath, this pool was in constant and very full use during the
summer of 1963.
School Playing Fields
For the physical training, school games and recreation of school children the total
acreage of school playing fields in Southall is approximately 21.6. At present considerable
use is also made of the play areas within the Council's public parks and negotiations are not
yet completed for the acquisition of a further two and a half acres of Council owned land
suitable for playing fields.
