Rickmansworth Aquadrome is a 41 hectares (0.16 square miles) public park and Local Nature Reserve in Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire. It is owned and managed by Three Rivers District Council.[1][2]

The site has two lakes, which were created by the extraction of gravel for the original Wembley Stadium. Batchworth Lake is used for waterskiing, and Bury Lake is used by Bury Lake Young Mariners for sailing and canoeing. The site has a diverse range of wildlife habitats,[3] and the River Colne runs along its boundary.[2] It has trees such as oaks and willows, birds including herons and moorhens, and small copper and gatekeeper butterflies.[4]

There is access from Frogmoor Lane, off Harefield Road.[4]
