To use the waterplay facilities you must pre-book online only. Book your water play session in advanced now.
Walk-ins on the day are only considered if a session is not fully booked or if someone does not turn up.
The session times below will be adhered to even if those booking/booked on arrive late.
You will need to arrive ‘pool ready’ as there are strictly no changing, locker or drying facilities on site.
Due to the current social distancing requirements a maximum of 10 people per session are allowed on the waterplay. This includes a parent supervising a child. The parent will also need to book a place at the time of booking.
There are 6 sessions per day each lasting 30 minutes:

During the 15 minutes between sessions the team will sanitize touch points, complete water checks and turnaround the groups on each sessions.
Whilst on the pad please abide to 2 metre social distancing.
It is everyone’s responsibility not attend if you have COVID-19 symptoms:
- a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal.
A test and trace QR code system is in place.
Please be aware that we have toilets on site but there is a one way queue system in place therefore at busy times you may need to wait to access a toilet.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Government guidance: Keeping yourself and others safe

Whilst in the Town Park we ask that you adhere to the central government guidance:

you can meet up outdoors with friends and family you do not live with, either:
- in a group of up to 6 from any number of households (children of all ages count towards the limit of 6)
- in a group of any size from up to two households (each household can include an existing support bubble, if eligible)
- you should stay 2 metres apart from anyone who is not in your household or support bubble where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings) if you cannot stay 2 metres apart.
You should follow the guidance on how to stop the spread of coronavirus at all times, including if you have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

You should follow this guidance in full to limit the transmission of COVID-19. It is underpinned by law.
