Aquatic Playground Closure 🛠

The Aquatic playground will be closed for planned maintenance from Tuesday 17 June to Tuesday 24 June.

This maintenance requires the playground to be dry in order to be repaired. The Learn to Swim, Toddler pool and Waterslides are still available for your enjoyment.

We hope to reopen the Aquatic Playground in full on 24 June.
