If it is an icy cold pool for taking a quick dip after a sauna or steam room for example. There's a longish discussion at the reference below.

Maybe aqua leisure pool would be more appropriate?

Sandra Petch
: some ghits for "recreationAL pool" vs. a lap pool. Again, I think the water part is implicit.

Charlie Bavington
: Possibly in contrast to something more "sportif". Like others, I think it seems unlikely that it's filled with anything other than water :-)

water play pool/water play area
With 'ludique' I'd definitely have the word 'play' in there somewhere. It looks like it might be a pool or area where you can play water sports or just play around with accessories (balls, hoops, floaters and such.)

along the lines of Claire's suggestion, 'aqua fun (area)' would keep it in line with the original French.
