Warmer weather is officially on its way as the Cassiobury Park paddling pools are set to return this weekend.

Parents will be happy to know the water play park at The Hub will reopen on Sunday, April 7, in time for the rest of the Easter school holidays.

The facility features two pools as well as three splash pads, water jets and fountains for children to enjoy.

There are changing rooms and toilets at The Hub, while parents can take a break at the new Cedar café which opened at the site last month.

Entry to the paddling pools is free but each one-hour slot from 10am to 6.30pm must be booked in advance.

They are suitable for all ages and abilities, although all children must be accompanied by an adult, who themselves cannot enter without children.

Tickets can be booked online or via the Everyone Active app, and the council is seeking donations to help keep the pools free for all.
