 The
first design concepts were brought before the Town Council in 2008.
The contractor chosen to carry out the works was Sun Safe Play Systems,
for the splash pad, working with Eibe Play for the wooden play equipment.
The design changed a few times during the course of 2009 and delays
with the lease put back the park development for a while.
In March 2010 the works commenced and the park started to take shape.
After 18 weeks and a couple of changes along the way, the park was
finally finished.
The splash pad offers a range of fountains and sprays which are
triggered by sensors and buttons. These run for a short period of
time before they need to be triggered again.
The Port Beacon, the tallest piece of equipment on the splash pad,
emits a rain shower effect while others create tunnels and arches.
The wooden play equipment includes the Stockholm Castle, a double
cable way and a toddler area where the musical can play the xylophone
or crawl through a short tunnel. A sand pit is located near the
rear of the park along with a climbing pyramid and snake swing.
Town Mayor, Councillor Philip Judd, said “the new facility
is a terrific asset to Weston-super-Mare and will further boost
the tourism prospects of the town and provide an all year round
facility for local residents.”
The Town Council would like to hear from you if you have visited
Water Adventure Play Park, as we feel that feedback is very important.
