Waterplay

Children playing in the Paddling Pool

The paddling pool has given enjoyment to generations of Rotherham children. It's now 70 years old! Maybe now it time for a change.

The play area is funded separately  from the main restorations work withfunding from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

In total £400,000 will be spent on facilities for children from 0 to 19, we hope it will be enjoyed by people of all ages.

This is a plan of the proposed Waterplay area.

The aim is to create a fun water play space for families and children. The new water features will have fountains which you control by jumping and moving, a flowing pool where you can use your imagination to channel the flow of water and a pool for splashing about in. An ice cream kiosk will provide refreshments, supervision and changing facilities.

It's your park
