FAQs

Why is work starting now when the pools have been closed all winter?

The design and procurement of the new paddling pools has not been without its challenges. We have worked with a water play specialist to ensure that the design and specification of these pools is right for the amount of people that will be using them, and is sympathetic to the parks they are situated in.

All of this has taken time which we appreciate will impact on usage of the pools in summer 2025, however this ensures that when they are ready to open, they are fit for purpose.
