Covering 100 acres, The Aquadrome Local Nature Reserve consists of lakes, grassland and woodland and is an ideal place for walks.
At the centre of the Aquadrome are three lakes, formed by the extraction of the gravel used in the construction of the original Wembley Stadium; Batchworth Lake is fished during the open season and is home to the water-skiing club.

Next door Bury Lake is used for sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Anyone wishing to participate in the watersports must be affiliated to the various clubs.
Adjacent to Bury Lake is Stockers Lake, a bird and wildlife sanctuary owned by Three Valleys Water and managed by Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. "Friends of Stockers Lake" can be contacted on 01923 778106.
The Aquadrom is open 365 days of the year and there is no admission charge.

There is a children's play area next to Batchworth Lake, with access off Riverside Drive.
If you would like to use the Aquadrome Local Nature Reserve for filming, a children's party, fete or similar event please contact the Leisure department on 01923 779392 or email leisure@threerivers.gov.uk
