The Boating Lake and Cafe overlooks the park and is open all year round to enjoy fishing, pedalling across or sitting around at the Lakeside café.
The lake at Ally Pally has a fleet of rowing and pedal boats, each boat holding up to 5 people.
Swan Lake on your doorstep! Lakeside Boats offers a fantastic range of boats to choose from including pedalos and classic rowing boats. Come and have a sensational experience, a great day out for all.
We are next to the Lakeside Café so you can make a day of it and enjoy great coffee and wholesome food and soak up the atmosphere before or after your ride.
We are open to the public everyday from April to November, 11am to 6pm weather permitting.
Boat hire is calculated on the number of passengers. Please note, for only 1 person there is a minimum fee for each boat. Children aged 2 and under go free.
