Set in an attractive area with seats and rubber safety surfacing, water from the mains supply is pumped through underground pipes and sent upwards in a variety of feature fountains and sprays which are great fun to use to cool down on a hot day.

Children or adults can operate the fountains by standing on pressure pads set within the floor surface.

The whole system is operated by automatic electronic control which turns the water on at 10am and off at 6pm each day.

There are no changing rooms on site, so please bring plenty of towels and a change of clothes with you, just as you would for a trip to the beach.

Young babies will need waterproof pants over their nappies, and please wear flat shoes in the area so the surface is not damaged.

The water fountains are great fun for all ages and abilities with easy access for wheelchairs. Come along and enjoy the sensation!
