The Splash Park in St Annes Promenade Gardens is ready to reopen for 2023 from 15 April 2023 with the introduction of a £1 charge per child up to one hour.
First opened in 2019, the Splash water play area has proven immensely popular with families, whether visiting from afar or living locally, and offers a fantastic range of features including spray loops, water sprays, bucket drops, water domes and a small section for paddling.
The fee of £1 was chosen to ensure that the facility is affordable to all, with similar private beach activities charging significantly higher rates and pricing many visitors out. Please pay on arrival by card – please note no cash is taken. The £1 payment only applies to the children using the facility; there is no charge for accompanying adults.
The revenue from the small charge will contribute towards the ongoing costs of operating the Splash Park and ensuring its continued sustainability.
The facility has a restricted capacity and could get booked quickly. The health and safety of our customers and staff is our number one priority. Do not visit Splash if you show any Covid-19 symptoms.
