Popular splash parks at Gosport & Lee to re-open at Easter

Work is about to start at Stokes Bay Splash Park in Gosport so it's ready for young children to enjoy when it reopens in the spring and summer months.

The popular park, on the seafront at Stokes Bay, has water play features designed for children aged eight and under.

The winter repairs and refurbishment will take place in March and will include a new, brighter safety surface.

Gosport Borough Council runs the park, which is free for families to use. The water features are expected to open for the Easter school holidays, from 10am to 6pm, and throughout the summer months with opening times being extended during the summer school holidays from 10am to 7pm.

The splash park at Lee-on-the-Solent is also due to reopen for the Easter holiday from 10am to 6pm and over the summer, with hours being extended during the summer school holidays to 10am to 7pm.

Gosport Council Leader Cllr Peter Chegwyn said:

"We are investing in much-needed repairs and a safe new surface so families can enjoy the very popular splash park at Stokes Bay.

"It is expected to be ready to reopen in time for Easter, and the work should make the water features more robust than in previous summers."

There are swings and slides for various ages nearby which are available all year round. 

Pay-and-display parking and toilets are close by.
