What visitors say
The splash park itself is a great place, and when it's open the children really enjoy it. However, it's quite disappointing that it's the only splash park in the county and isn't simply open for families to use throughout the day. The opening times are also very confusing and can be misleading. On one of our visits, a family arrived at around 3:00 pm expecting it to be open because the website stated it was open from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm, only to find that it wasn't running. This was understandably frustrating, especially for families who have travelled to get there. I appreciate that they may be trying to manage demand because it's the only splash park in the area, but the varying operating times make it difficult to plan a visit. Clearer information and longer, more consistent opening hours during the summer would make a huge difference. Hopefully, more splash parks will be introduced across the county in the future to better meet demand.

One of the relaxing places in the Wellingborough which has playground, siting places, splash in summer time and beautiful canal is going along this place. In summer time, there are a lot of things to do at this place. Kids play and enjoy at splash which usually opens at 12 noon in good climate. Massive swans and ducks available so, You can feed enjoy with swan and duck not at car park area. If you’re interested in kayak, it is the super place to do with caution. Canal water is not clean and clear so check the condition before entering. A number of car parking places available with free of charge. A small food stall available in summer time. Super relaxing place especially in the evening to enjoy sunset with birds and nature.

Great amenity for the local area. Things to note; the water is COLD, the changing facilities are just the toilets which arw crowded and quite dirty, there is a small 'cafe' which is more like a food truck. Overall, if you come prepared, it's a great place to spend a few hours in the hot weather for very little money.
