Splash Park
Come and cool down in our state-of-the-art Splash Park. Children of all abilities can activate the sensor-operated water jets on our brightly-coloured interactive installation. The Splash Park is built on an outdoor soft play surface, so wheelchair users can access the fun. Get ready to get wet though, because once you’re in the splash zone there will be water everywhere!
Amongst the water jets a carousel of buckets spills water from above, a water arch sprays all who move through it, and cannons soak all those enjoying the watery fun.
Opening times
From May through to September the Splash Park will be open every Saturday and Sunday (term time) and every day during school holidays (weather depending).
Admissions
Entry to the Splash Park costs £4 per person (including adults) and £1 for spectators for one of the six daily sessions. Payment is accepted by card only. Sessions can only be booked in advance on the day of the sessions and users will be provided with a date stamped coloured wristband after booking at the park kiosk. Please be aware that on hot days we do tend to sell out quickly, so don't miss out!
Sessions are limited so that we don't exceed a safe capacity, as well as not putting too much of a demand on the pool system itself. The Splash Park operates a very similar system as at other swimming facilities, so the water is filtered and chlorine added to keep it clean and safe. If too many people use the facility at one time, the water can't process fast enough!
