We are currently carrying out final safety checks and testing in preparation for opening the Splash Park for the 2026 season.

About the Splash Park
The Splash Park at Coate Water is a free, safe and accessible outdoor water play area for children.
It includes:
- a paddling pool
- water features and games
- seating areas
The Splash Park is designed to be accessible, with:
- level surfaces
- a sloped entrance into the paddling pool for wheelchair users
- rumble strips
- a handrail
- interactive features outside the wet zones
Opening times
When open, the Splash Park usually operates every day from the end of May to the end of September.
Opening hours are 11.00am to 6.00pm.
You may need to wait before entering. We sometimes check how many people are using the Splash Park to help keep everyone safe.
When the Splash Park may close
For safety reasons, the Splash Park may occasionally close at short notice.
This could be due to water quality checks, cleaning or maintenance, equipment issues, very high visitor numbers, severe weather (such as lightning), or other safety concerns.
Park wardens will make the decision when closure is necessary and we will update this website with the latest information.
The Splash Park usually remains open in light rain and does not close based on temperature alone. Please use your own judgement on whether conditions are suitable for your child.
Supervision
There are no staff supervising the Splash Park.
Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. You are responsible for your child's safety and behaviour.
