This is when Victoria Park's popular splash pad in Cardiff is reopening

The date when Victoria Park's popular splash pad in Cardiff will reopen has been revealed.

The splash pad has been shut for a number of months, but now Cardiff council have confirmed the date it is finally reopening.

The£485,000-facility which opened for the first time in 2016 on the site of the former paddling pool in the Canton park, has 33 exciting features for youngsters to enjoy and is a firm favourite for families.

A spokesman confirmed on Thursday that the splash pad will reopen on Friday May 28.

Council workers were spotted testing the site on Thursday morning ahead of the reopening in time for the last May Bank Holiday weekend.

“Plans to ensure that the public can use the splash pad safely, in line with Covid-19 regulations, are currently being finalised," a council spokesperson said.

"Any changes to how the splash pad operates this summer will be published on www.outdoorcardiff.com and the council’s social media feeds.

"To ensure their visit goes smoothly, visitors are advised to check for up-to-date information in advance.”

The splash pad, which is located in the beautiful grounds of the Grade II-listed park, includes facilities such as sprays, jets, a tipping water bucket and a tunnel.

And it's all set across three separate zones, which have been designed for toddlers, juniors and families.

The new splash pad opened in the summer of 2016 on the site of the former paddling pool, after almost half a million pounds was spent on the facility.
