North Herts splash parks: Statement from North Herts District Council

PR Date: Friday, 10 July 2020 - 9:45am

Following the Government’s announcement that outdoor water parks can reopen from 11 July, unfortunately we need to make residents aware that it will not be possible to reopen any of our splash parks in Baldock, Hitchin and Royston, or the paddling pool at Howard Park in Letchworth with such short notice. To recommission the facilities, ensure sufficient attendants are available and carry out the numerous operational tasks required to open them, will take significantly longer than one working day. Given the coronavirus pandemic, we will also need to carry out new risk assessments in light of the latest guidance, to ensure the safety of both our staff and the public before we can consider opening them. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause residents and we will provide a further update shortly.
